Fahny, RE: AMD "bug"

If you read the AMD document you will find this statement:

"The erratum has not been observed to occur in integer, single precision, double precision or software implementations of extended precision applications, which represent the majority of applications on the market. AMD has identified and tested commercially available applications which specifically make use of the numeric processor in the K6. No failures have been observed. AMD has tried to force failures by choosing conditions and operands known to aggravate the erratum, and no failures were observed."

Want to demonstrate the Intel bug?
It takes about 25 keystrokes, but try starting DISKFIX first.
