It does work without "options VM86" in the kernel
(under current this is).

This is what I'm talking about... functionality will be lost
when "options VM86" becomes mandatory.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
