Not so rare that people don't complain about unexpected results
arising from the difference between 80-bit and 64-bit evaluation,
which ought to be corrected by the 80-bit spilling scheme.
In my experience this mainly occurs for non-optimized code. Floating-point
algorithms that give wrong results without optimization, often produce
correct results with optimization. This amazes people and especially those
that are used to (old) compilers that do it the other way around... :-)
