The following is from Computer Design May 1,1991 issue:

"860 bugs kept under cover"
"...At least one board vendor has been required to sign a nondisclosure 
agreement with Intel prohibiting the discussion of the bugs with customers.
...after nearly two years in the market, the 860 still has five bugs,
one of which is said to significantly affect floating-point performance."
