It very well could be an issue with the Atom. I know there are special
versions of Ubuntu out (Eeebuntu, if I recall correctly) for the Atom
with patches applied especially for the processor. Intel has quite a
few flags tailored for compiling to the Atom, which could be screwing
stuff up. Maybe an SSE related issue.
