Possible, but unlikely.   I was unable to find any evidence of such a
bit, or any OSF/1 behaviour that such a bit would disable.   And many
supposedly NT-only processors will run SRM - the P6, for example, is
documented as NT-only.   I think the actual problem is a bug in SRM
that the P7 processor tweaks - there are several documented
differences between the P6 and P7.
