Thanks again Hans.

Looking at the bug report, something obvious (to me) was not clear... The patch was already applied to Ubuntu 16.10. 16.10 does not produce the Illegal Opcode.

Ubuntu 16.04 lacks the patch at the moment. 16.04 falls to the the Illegal Opcode.

Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 tested OK this afternoon. Thanks again.
