A friend who runs mostly BSD was telling me he bought a new Intel dual
core machine that didn't work right for several months, and the problem
turned out to be a problem in the Intel microcode. One of the
problems/manifestations of this problem was that the machine would
ignore page protection registers, which caught my friend's attention as
a security problem. For Windows, I remember seeing a fix to this
problem, but I don't remember seeing anything on the Apple side about a
fix.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Was this part of a recent security
update?
