It doesn't, I get the same error (either 0x1020800 or 0x20800, the
former the most often, which makes me wonder if the error contains bit
flags).

Interestingly, if I place a ret after the mov eax, [style] instruction,
or even comment out the cpuid instruction, I don't get an exception.
This makes me wonder whether there is something permission-related that
is different between Python 2.5 and 2.6 -- perhaps the 2.5 executable is
not allowed to execute that instruction?
