Thank you, I think that information will lead to a solution.  One last
question:

Could you please check if the i5 machines where it works include "avx" in the
flags line of /proc/cpuinfo?

I built 4.6.3-4 on a different machine than usual, and I think it accidentally
picked up a CPU optimization it should not have had.  AVX extensions were only
added on the Sandy Bridge and newer model Intel CPUs, and the Xeon you provided
the information for doesn't have it.  If that's the case, I will ask for the
package to be rebuilt on a different machine where that problem won't occur.
