Does anyone know if Intel has responded to this problem? Sorry to be repeating myself, but to my mind this is a far more severe bug than the obscure floating point bug several years ago that knocked billions off Intel's market cap. If they did, in fact, quietly fix the bug at some stepping without telling anyone, that would appear to be a return to the modus operandi that they so publicly abandoned after the FP brouhaha.
