BTW, Alan, next time you post somebody else's piece of code to Bugtraq,
could you mention the original author's name and email address? It seems
quite a basic rule in a GPL environment like GNU/Linux.

I didnt know it was your specific piece of code I was under the impression
it was picked straight from the reference. I extend my fullest apologies.

[Cc'd to bugtraq since I believe you are owed that correction there, and
 I suspect many will be interested in the Cyrix work around you have]

I wouldn't have minded getting a copy of your post too, since I was the
first one to find a decent workaround for the bug the code exposes.
