Delphi crashes hard when debugging 3DNow! assembler code. Must be killed with the task manager.

Description
Reported by Jojo; checked by Jordan Russell
Simply create a project and add
asm
  femms  // this will clear the 3DNow! registers
end;
somewhere in the code. If you start stepping through this code, the BORdbk60.dll will report an AV and you have to kill Delphi with the task manager.

Does the same thing in 5.0 Enterprise... The Delphi Team is not able to help correct the problem.

It sometimes gets so bad that I get repeating Code Insight errors that require a full reboot to get corrected...
