-------------------------+--------------------------
 Tor Browser 4.0 crashes with SIGILL on AMD K6 or Pentium processors. These
 processors do not have the CMOV instruction and Tor Browser 4.0 was
 compiled with CMOV.

 Tor Browser 3.6.6 and previous versions work well on processors without
 CMOV.

 Please, recompile the Tor Browser with -march=i586, so that it uses
 instruction set of 586 processors.
