Maciej,
do you have an R4000 / R4600 / R5000 / R7000 / SiByte system at hand to test this? ... Ralf

I should be able to check R4400 (that is virtually the same as R4000) next week or so. As to SiByte -- not before next month I'm afraid. I don't have access to any of the other processors you named. You may want to find a better person if you want to accept this change soon.
