If it is in fact the AcpiLoadTable interface that is incorrect, that of
course is different. I'll check that out next.

[Moore, Robert]

Yes, this is the issue, not specifically the Load() operator, but the AcpiLoadTable interface only.

thanks for checking this out. So what is the conclusion? Is my fix of AcpiLoadTable() sufficient or do we need a different solution?
