   :-) And how do you propose that should be done ?     It sounds like a great   
   idea, but ...

   Somewhere along the line I forgot to mention that I was programming in   
   32-bit mode (under Win XP).  So, no mixed mode and no trash in the upper   
   bits.

   Well ...   It /can/ be achieved that way, but only under certain conditions   
   (related to origin and size). :-)   
      
   The problem has been located though : I simply used the wrong R/M value   
   while hand-encoding the FXSAVE command (likely mixing up the 16 bit table   
   with the 32 bit one).   IOW, I was providing the target addres in a certain   
   register while the command expected it in another register/form.
