(This could be an apm(4) problem, as well.) I wish I knew just when this option might be needed as I run on a wide variety of platforms including P2, K6-3, P3, and P4 with an Athlon coming soon. I'd just as soon only use this option where it's really required. I'm twice shy about it after adding it to the P4 and watching it crash. -- R.
