I maybe wrong but i think its a bug with the Pentium 166 and 200 MMX CPU's which could cause a crash if a particular register is accessed or something :)

Note. only affects INTEL MMX chips.. seems ya get a free bug with every Intel
chip these days...

hehe

the FO bug was also often referred to the F00F bug.
