Kevin,

  I wasn't sure that just opting out the colinux binary was enough,
and it turns out I'm right.  You can't opt-out an driver, so the
kernel driver part of coLinux is still causing problem.  That's why
ultimately the boot.init /NoExecute=AlwaysOff works, where the others
don't.

  Thanks for identifying your type or processor.  This will allow use
to dig into the details of the processors that seem to having this
problem and allow use to make a proper correction in coLinux's code...
 Once this is done, then the less than desirable work-around of using
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff will be a thing of the past...   Thanks for
everyone who has stuck with us as we painstakingly work through this
problem.
