Since upgrading to 5.2.1-p4-RELEASE last night, I have seen the following warnings a few times in my /var/log/messages: Mar 31 16:49:14 jake kernel: Warning: pid 37735 used static ldt allocation. Mar 31 16:49:14 jake kernel: See the i386_set_ldt man page for more info Trouble is, by the time I go to check what pid 37735 is, it's already terminated without a trace. Now the i386_set_ldt man page warns strongly against it's usage, so I'd like to catch this bugger before it causes any problems, but I don't really know how, since it seems to be something that only runs for a couple seconds and then exits (could be part of some script somewhere, I don't know). When I upgraded, I did do a nice 'portupgrade -raRf' to recompile everything, and almost everything recompiled without problems (although it took nearly 36 hours to do it). I can't imagine what might be doing this, although I am suspicious of wine (just b/c it often does naughty things). Any suggestions on catching this process in action? Thanks. -- Adam "satyam, shivam, sundaram" P.S. Please CC your reply to me, since I am no longer subscribed to this list. Thanks.
