      SPEC has determined that this result was not in compliance with the 
      SPECweb99_SSL run and reporting rules. Specifically, the result did 
      not meet the 3 month availability requirement in the SPECweb99_SSL 
      run rules due to a change in availability of a dependency of the 
      web server.
