Oops. :|  I'm surprised gcc let me away wth that, actually.

Unfortunately, there's a more subtle bug in there too (or possibly in
some earlier change that's gone unnoticed) that's sending Windows XP
occasionally to its doom with a pagefault when the IRQL is too high.
I'm glad to hear that it solves the intended problems, though. :)

I'll fold in your idea of adjusting mandatory_flags instead of
special-casing the failure.

Thanks,

Tim.
