This is unclear.  I tried running the same test at stock clocks, and it
worked fine for about 15 minutes:

guesses: 1199  time: 0:00:14:26 28.25% (ETA: Tue Jun 19 05:17:59 2012)  c/s: 4111  trying: rangers - 222222

but then the entire machine locked up (stopped responding to ping) and
rebooted, maybe due to:

kernel.panic = 20
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
kernel.softlockup_panic = 1
kernel.hung_task_panic = 1
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs = 300

It was probably not the hung_task_panic, but it could have been an Oops.

There's nothing about this in the logs.

So maybe bf-opencl still triggers problems with the AMD driver for 7970.
