Backtrace with debugging symbols in libkse:
#0 0x288c2f4b in kse_thr_interrupt () at /var/tmp//cc4HnJI9.s:15
#1 0x288b3b3d in _thr_sig_add (pthread=0x805e000, sig=134574132, info=0x0)
at /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_sig.c:885
#2 0x288bc9ab in kse_check_completed (kse=0x8057000)
at /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_kern.c:1558
#3 0x288bb3fc in kse_sched_multi (kmbx=0x17e)
at /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_kern.c:1021
#4 0x08287000 in ?? ()
#5 0x283c5cac in gtk_widget_hide () from
/usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.200
This is taken from the Pentium III machine, which has a ATI card with
X11 drivers. I have never seen any mention of usage of static ldt
entries in the dmesg.
