   Those 512 bytes do (currently) not seem to be /required/.  I initialized the   
   buffer using a specific byte, and by it could see that nothing from 288 and   
   up was touched (the "reserved" areas below it however where).   
      
   Perhaps that 288-and-up "reserved" area is ment for future generations of   
   the x87 FPU.

   I can only hope that I remember it for quite a while.

   :-)  In that case you may regard it as an explanation of what the problem   
   actually was.   I know that when I try to help someone I often get curious   
   to it.
