What does the ouptut of /proc/cpu infor look like?  is there an "ht" on the

I don't have access to the machine right now but I'll check as soon as
I get a chance this evening.

Could the test for HT be confusing multicore processors with hyperthreaded
processors, e.g. see more than one processor in the package assume HT.
You read my mind... I was just looking at this intel article
<http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo-na/eng/200678.htm?page=3>
which warns that the previous method for detecting HT breaks with the
introduction of multi-core systems and describes another procedure for
detecting HT which will work on both single-core and multi-core
systems.
