Hi,

Now that the New York incident is a few days past... I hope everyone and 
your families are ok.

I'm here in The Netherlands and we've been watching a lot of CNN 
International. For us it happened tuesday around 15:00 local time. I was 
at work. Tuesday evening and wednesday most TV channels completely 
cancelled their programs and only broadcast news (lots of CNN video). 
Since thursday one of the national TV channels has been looping their 
latest news broadcast constantly as long as there are no other programs 
planned.

About a year ago we had a big tragedy in The Netherlands as well, when a 
fireworks storage exploded. They had lots more and heavier fireworks 
than they were allowed to have. And they were located in a region with 
lots of homes....
As far as I can tell, it had the same effect on people (to me anyways), 
as the terrorist attack. Baffled. I really can't understand how people 
can do such a thing.

Oh, I actually wanted to inquire about the state of plex86 CVS 
sources... I understand plex86 is (probably) not yet alpha quality. What 
should run with the current CVS? I tried a linux installation and a 
win2000 installation, but both result in a panic:

::plex86 panic:
::emulate:1 default case of 5

And a state dump with all registers. The EIP register seems to contain a 
weird address: 0xa0000, which should contain video memory, right? 
(complete output below)

Could it have to do with the fact that I have an AMD Duron processor? If 
so, I'll help (although I'm certainly no expert on Durons) to add the 
necessary stuff to plex86.
What other information is helpful here?

Thanks,
Jan Evert
