I looked a little further.  If 799b20b0 is picked up then I think the
fix in f24eb2f8 (just pushed) makes sense as well.  Also, 18449686
looks like a straight forward bug fix.

What do you think about 251e2638 + 3b9b9f24 ?  These work around the
Windows Vista (and possibly later) hangs in the vgabios with old
16-bit apps (the "skifree" problem).
