a couple of things:

a) the buggy chips are no longer avaialable.

b)  it really isn't significant.  It only occurs in *really* obscure places.  I'm not sure that anybody saw it in linux save during kernel compiles untell they went seriously looking.

c)  i have'nt looked for a few weeks, but the hardware newsgroups were reporting almost instant turn-around.  As well as the ability, if you lived nearby, to walk it through.
