I observed the problem on a PPro as well, but it is not specific to PPros. It will occur on any BIOSes (mostly older ones) that use a small amount of memory right before the 640K mark. The problem is that the person who committed the broken change didn't understand that you have to map this region into virtual memory if you're going to call the BIOS in protected mode.
