Right, but next time we talk about a different aspect which isn't commented on in the handler, we'd have to add to it again, until we've rewritten the whole function in pseudo code. I think simply pointing to the function which decides the fate of the machine based on the MCE severity is enough - people can then go and stare at it, albeit with some struggle. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
