SubjectWARNING Re: SYSENTER based syscalls patch, 2.1.105, RFC

USING THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE FILESYSTEM CORRUPTION.

In the interests of science I tried out the code that was posted on my
early k6-166.

The fastcall program segfaulted.

I tried to run it under gdb and my system instantaneously rebooted,
leaving me with a badly damaged root filesystem.


So be careful.
