Spring time Raptor Lake update: a colleague wrote a workaround for the most common Firefox crash we were encountering in the zlib-rs library and it seems to be working. This confirms both my theory (and ryg's too) about the origin of the bug effectively being triggered by a MUX somewhere in the load/store unit malfunctioning because of the degraded clock. So let's dig in and see how you might possibly mitigate this on your system if it's affected.
