Hi Steven,

Forget the patch! (do NOT use w/o fixing). It has several serious bugs
that in my rush I couldn't test before leaving for DAC. Andre kindly
pointed these out.

Also, 5min after posting I discovered that the "evil" FPU coupling check
requires interupts being on to work on legacy machines. So moving
check_bugs() around in main.c isn't going to work cleanly. Arrg! Any
ideas?
