Can you explain what was wrong with the function this patch changes, 
and how the patch fixes that problem? The patch looks kludgy to me (as 
far as I understand) -- apparently trying to differentiate between 
real-mode and protected-mode segments? Why is that needed? Shouldn't 
you be looking at the execution mode of the caller (e.g., EFLAGS.VM)?
