===============================================================================
SPEC has discovered a code defect in the SPECweb99_SSL test harness run on
the client systems used in this result. The defect prevents these client
systems from generating the correct SPECweb99_SSL workload. Specifically,
the defect in the SPECweb99_SSL code results in the clients not generating
any of the required SSL ClientKeyExchanges during the benchmark. Therefore,
the results presented here are not comparable with any other SPECweb99_SSL
results.
