OK, this is definitely evil code. Are you in a position and willing to
do performance and/or stability tests of further patches?

Joerg
ha. Its written by Intel, what do you expect?

I'm not in a position at the moment, but I will be on Monday when the work
week resumes. We have that Super Bowl thing over here tomorrow...

Shoot me something and I'll fire it up on Monday and try to provide
as much feedback as possible. Can you determine why the m_getcl()
is failing also? That seems extraneous to the driver.
