Dave -

You must have tested on the wrong version; this line already appears
in the recent patch, in particular in the one that you re-posted !

Also, your reposted the patch-set without the fix to the FPU state.
It's gonna crash as soon as someone tries to use a float variable.

Patience ...

Oren.
