I haven't seen a reply yet to my message from last week, and I am
still wondering what we can expect in terms of a patch for FreeBSD
for the Pentium invalid instruction bug. A fix has been integrated
into BSDI and Linux, and it is important for FreeBSD-based ISPs to
get a fix, to protect any Pentium system which allows general user
access. I haven't seen any official statement from the FreeBSD team
yet, at least not in the freebsd-announce or freebsd-isp groups.
Here's the URL for Intel's information on this:
