There are two bugs.

Yes, there is definitely a bug in RSX here.
However, the fact that the Linux LAT triggers it, and nothing else I've 
ever seen/used does, suggests that the Linux LAT is actually violating 
the LAT protocol.

The effects in RSX is a bug triggered by a protocol violation. How other 
OSes react to that I have no idea...
