You do recall correctly ... checking the archives, I posted a
patch on October 16, 2001. I did fix the floating point case
back then too ... in fact my post claims to include the patch
for both integer and FP. But I must have attached the wrong
patch file. I've long since deleted all my 2.4.10 trees, so
I'd have to reconstruct from scratch (can't do it from memory,
those neurons have been re-assigned :-(

It looks to me like getfpreg() and setfpreg() are pretty obviously
broken: they doesn't take rotation into account at all. Seems this
was missed when the integer-side was fixed (by Tony, IIRC). Anyone
want to take a shot at fixing this?
