It's not exactly supported, but it will mostly work on x86 Linux at  
this point.  I saw no reason to disable it; if somebody on Linux wants  
to make it fully usable, they can.  If the Linux guys prefer to  
disable it (to prevent being polluted by this horrible misfeature, I  
suppose), they can do that too.

I fixed this test in TOT, btw.
