OK, here's the results I get...

NOTICE: results differ every time I hit ALT-SYSRQ-A.
        The '1' bit at 'row 11, col. 26' stays '1'
        no matter how many times I use the magic keys.
        The other '1' bits jump around a bit, or
        disappear alltogether. Also, the sequence
        in which the APICs appear in the dump sometimes
        differs (this example shows 1 first, then 0,
        other times you'd see 0 first, then 1)

NOTICE: hmmm... see, now that '1' bit at row 11,
        col. 26 for APIC 0 which was '1' before
        has turned to '0'. It will stay '0' no
        matter how many times I hit the magic keys...
        It seems to have been replaced by the '1'
        bit at row 11, col. 10, since that bit
        stays '1' no matter how many magic I
        throw at it...

Hope this helps... If you need more, let me know...

Cheers//Frank
