No, it doesn't. But, maybe you need to dig deeper. Since 3DS doesn't
use _any_ double precision math it's highly unlikely that's the
problem. Could the Pentium itself use the double precision math
internally even though 3ds isn't asking it to? I'm really no
authority on this but I believe Gary when he says that 3DS _can't_
have a problem with the Pentium bug. Could an IPAS use double
precision math? It'll be interesting to see what Gary hays to say
about it. Good luck in tracking it down if you decide to. I'd like
to know what it turns out to be.
