Typo. Only "one" PID is still listed.

I also tried that and nothing returns. Had a look at man nm, but can't do 
anything with it. I'm no programmer.
And first I'll have to get a "i386 Microprocessor Programmer's Reference 
Manual, Intel".

Well, like mentioned I'm no programmer, I only wondered what this was and as 
far as I understood it's nothing I have to worry about, but unclear to you?

Let me know if I can do anything helpful.
