1. Revert whatever change caused it.

This would certainly again brake other platforms. 1.17 does not use appl_init, and it was not introduced for fun.

We shouldn't be implementing features that violate supervisor mode for fun too.

I wrote "was not introduced for fun". See the "not"?

Indeed. I was being sarcastic.


Why does it work on real hardware and real TOS then?


It's not an excuse to violate supervisor mode.

2. Fix it properly.

Yes. :)


Indeed. So how is it going to be done and when ?

Copy the XaAES from 1.17 over to 1.18 and you're done.



That means a big patch to revert to XaAES to 1.17 then.

I'm being serious Helmut here, we need to find the right fix asap.

Alan.
