That's the first thing I thought too indeed 8), but it maybe because at
iret time the CPU doesn't know if it will have to return to compatibility mode
or not. If we feed the ss/ds with a 32bit compatibility mode data segment all
should work right as well (this should be verified on the simulator though).
