How could I test that? Plex86 must either corrupt memory in a sensible
area or leave the processor in a bad state. Otherwise XFree86 would never
know that it is supposed to crash after a plex run. And XFree is really
the only program that compains (and which uses iopl()?). Using plex86
basically means "reboot the machine afterwards" for me as it is now.   :-(
