Symify should be more accurate IMHO in pinpointing the location of the FP
error. I had a lot of trouble working out FP errors because I had large
chunks of assembly statements throughtout my code... All symify did was
tell me the location of the group of FP instructions where the problem
occured... ie:

	asm volatile {		<- symify points here
		....
		200 asm lines... :)
		....
	}
