Wine may not use LDTs, but if you don't set the appropriate option
(USER_LDT, from memory) in the kernel config, wine refuses to try to
work.  Nothing else does, so I suppose it doesn't use user LDTs.

Of course, if you *do* set USER_LDT in the kernel config, wine just
dies with some other error... or it did last time I tried running it.
