This is expected. Unfortunately, I can't do anything better than this 
for the upcoming months. I need help from the people really into the 
command submission system.

I consider it not safe to reclock core if PFIFO DMA_PUSH isn't empty. 
Hence the reason why I abort there.

Exactly, when playing open arena, the success ratio is very very low but 
I don't mind yet. I first want stability and then reliability.

Good catch, I thought I had fixed that but it doesn't seem like. I'll 
fix this tonight and send an update. Thanks a lot.
