	[long and lucid description of problem omitted ... gkn]

	(5) I have not tried this program on an 8650, and I would be very interested
	    to find out if this problem exists on that CPU. In fact, I would appreciate
	    receiving reports of the results people get when they run this program on
	    their systems, regardless of what type of CPU they have.

I just ran it on an 8650 and it produced the correct results.

Regards,

gkn
