Mike, <Pentium F0-bug><..now let me try to visualize this.> You visualization is totally irrelevant. Try better this: Mary Cluney is running a huge and very important quiery updating database on her corporate dual-pentium server, as well as many others. Someone else was trying to send a greeteng card using a new program that was bugged by some bad guy. The corporate server instantly gets frosen without ANY MESSAGE. Only reset gets it back. All cached files and cached directories gets corrupted and half of the database files needs long recovery. This may take days. Is that what you want? In case of a correct CPU, such a program will be just terminated with a message to user that he was trying to execute some reserved/illegal opcode.

<Boy, the pains people will go to try and bring down the competition.> Noone is ever trying. Intel is just all wet again and has demonstrated their slopiness and negligence in product testing. Without competition things would go worse and worse.

<Worst case scenerio, Intel will provide a patch for download on their web site.> The way how you diiscuss the topic it is clear that to got exactly nothing from all these messages. This is your problem, true believer in the "hollow tree" of Intel.
