;No, Olly, that prefix is pretty vital. NOT superfluous.

00402D7C 3E:8700 XCHG DWORD PTR DS:[EAX],EAX
Do you see anything wrong with that disassembly?
That's right, all the superfluous prefixes surrounding the real one (PREFIX DATASIZE: is not superfluous) confuse Olly into thinking the command will be "XCHG DWORD PTR DS:[EAX],EAX". In fact, it executes as "XCHG DWORD PTR DS:[EAX],AX".
Small bug, but I thought it was amusing at the time.
I edited the code to do this - you won't find this in any application
Oh yeah, "xchg eax,eax" compiles, in Olly, as "90" ("nop") instead of "87C0" ("xchg eax,eax"). "xchg ebx,ebx", however, doesn't.
