Hi Alan.
Attached patch works around the corruption of the high word of the ESP register, which is the official bug of x86 CPUs. The bug triggers only when the one is using the 16bit stack segment, and is described here: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/specupdt/27287402.PDF
Does the bug also egsist on AMD CPU's? Does the patch add anything to kernels compiled for AMD CPU's?
Thanks,
