Theo de Raadt wrote about the Intel Core 2 Duo chip: "Various developers are busy implementing workarounds for serious bugs in Intel's Core 2 cpu. These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will assuredly be exploitable from userland code." Intel has given a response to the concerns as well.

That's probably the idea, but I've read a few articles about bad thread programming even from seasoned pros. Most developers have never had to deal with multiple threads and thus have trouble writing efficient multi-threaded programs.
However, in your case having a single processor or core would have help you find the error faster.
