>Description:
On the fast machine with lot of cache (K6-2 250MHz, 1024KBcache respectevly
in my case) i586_bzero bandwith in bytes may exceed 2^31 (signed long
datatype maximum value - i.e > 2.147.483.648 bytes/s) and kernel in
verbose mode will report negative bandwith.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Take a relatively fast machine
2. Boot with -v option
3. Look at the dmesg output ;)
