FP Data Operand Pointer May Be Incorrectly Calculated After FP Access Which Wraps 64-Kbyte Boundary in 16-Bit Code" Doesn't seem to have hurt their sales much. JMHO. Charles Tutt (TM)

System architects and developers at any server company that sells performance would kill for an additional 5%. Your trashing of the significance of it is a bit irresponsible, I would say.
