I read the following rumors in a recent Computerworld:  there is a
co-processor bug in the '386 which Intel is working to fix, and as a
result SCO is desupporting the math processor.  I'm not sure if this
is true or not.  I'd hate to be the one to spread such inciteful gossip
if it isn't; does anybody from SCO want to clarify?...
