It wouldn't for the reason Justin said, and this file only applies to 
the kernel besides. I've also never experienced this bug you're 
referring to. Is X using longjmp/setjmp() internally? One thing we do 
not do is save/restore FP registers for long jumps. It's not required by 
the spec, but Linux does do it.
