Hello,

Are there any issues (security, reliablity, performance, etc.)
with regard to the USER_LDT kernel option in -stable?  Since
this appears to be defined by default in -current, why is this
not the case with -stable?

I can't find anything in the -questions archive & messages in
the -stable archive don't mention any possible "gotchas."

According to some port-docs, this option is defined by default
in -current; some ports (WINE, aviplay, for examples) report
requiring this.  Additionally, mplayer requires it too, but
this is not documented in that port's information (except in
its own documentation).

Thanks,

-kc
