  This postings is a test program for a bug in the 386 processor. It
seems potentially serious. 

The submitter w8sdz@tacom-emh1.army.mil says:

It seems that a new bug in some 386 processors has been discovered. 
Mine failed the test and the system acted weird after running the
program.  I think the bug messed up the stack or something.  Everything
was ok again after I rebooted.  I'm not real happy about having a
defective processor, Bill.  You may wish to tell your 386 mailing list
about this bug.  It looks serious.
