And as I stated later on in that thread, I don't see where libpthread=20 and libthr still use LDT entries. As far as I understand the code,=20 instead of using an LDT entry per thread (as it sure used to be), only=20 one single GDT entry is used whose base address is updated during a=20 context switch. Looking at the cvs history, it has been working like=20 this since a couple commits of Peter Wemm about a year ago. And if nothing but Wine uses the LDT, Wine's static allocation of LDT=20 entries can't be the problem. --nextPart8584442.zxQZd1tTzu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBExPfAdMR2xnarec8RAozJAJ0R/bow6no5XbyepuehSZK+AzyTWACbBYMj ippogN6v63focdD6woOHifE= =tENU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart8584442.zxQZd1tTzu--
