I can actually run all the performance tests.  The previous version of
Bochs I was using (2.0) did trigger the same problem as you (characters
flipping in the top right corner) but this one doesn't.  However, I have
this same problem again with a home-compiled Pistachio 0.3 kernel and I
have no idea where this comes from!

Do you get any significant warning messages from Bochs?
