You seem to be assuming that the ia32 memory model is strictly just PC.
I'm not assuming that and am *not* (for the zillionth time) talking about it
in terms of a PC memory model.  If I was, I'd be wrong and you and Alexander
would be correct.

If it turns out the ia32 memory model is just PC and all the extra statements
about the memory model in the Intel docs is just noise then I'd be wrong and
again, you and Alexander would be right.  But so far *nobody* has clearly
stated that.  I repeat, *nobody* has stated that.   Andy Glew has *not* stated
that.  He has only spoken in terms of PC and not equivocated PC to the ia32
memory model.  And if he doesn't do that then pretty much anything he says
is irrelevant to the issue of what the ia32 memory model is.
