With the latest kernel that came in last night (kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5)
the residual problems that I had with my smp machine being unable to run Office
XP in Crossover finally resolved, and all machines in which I am running Office
XP now work without problems. The only change I needed was the replacement
wine-preloader file available from the codeweavers site - see the ticket quoted
above.
