Hey Kenneth, Thanks for checking it out. I suppose this means Intel will come out with another version in the near future fixing at least this.

I just gave this a spin too, seems like Intel screwed up the version in the tarball... The actual version should be 5.1.0.079 (.038 makes no sense, since the previous version was 5.0.3.048).
