Elmer, <How about demanding a recall for this bug infested chip?> These codes do not hang servers and will not cause global file system corruption and data losses for other users on a server. You need to try harder, otherwise you may be expelled from the Intel public support team without a paycheck. Seejalater, much later is more desirable:-))

Elmer, re: <a number of bugs in its K6 processor> The URL you gave is for an obsolete document no longer on the server. The current document shows that ALL ERRATA LISTED FOR STEPPING B WERE CORRECTED IN STEPPING C. Unfortunately, Intel pointedly insists on NOT FIXING its bugs listed in its errata document. BTW, the data patterns that resulted in 0's on multiply instructions would not occur in commercial software because they were either NAN's (not a number) or unnormallized floating point numbers. Petz
