===============================================================================
    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.
