    Hi Richard,

    That's because you ran it on a 2.5/2.6 kernel, right? The test code
    is meant for 2.4 kernels and earlier :)

    Here is a more universal test:

    int main () {
    asm ("movl %%esp,%%ebp;sysenter" : : "a" (1), "b" (0));
    return 0;
    }

    I expect it to do the first of these which is applicable:

    - raise SIGILL on Pentium and earlier Intel CPUs
    - raise SIGILL on non-Intel CPUs which don't have the SEP capability
    - raise SIGSEGV on Pentium Pro CPUs
    - raise SIGSEGV on Pentium II CPUs with model == 3 and stepping < 3
    - raise SIGSEGV on 2.4 kernels
    - exit with status 0 on 2.6 kernels

    Enjoy,
    -- Jamie
