In /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/sys_machdep.c, I see that the descriptor maximum allowed in i386_set_ldt() is 512, which isn't strange. What is surprising is that it isn't a macro define. Is the number 512 magic? I'd like to bump up that limit to see if Wine will be happy, although I don't want to jump over a magic boundary into descriptors reserved for some other purpose. Thanks in advance, Brian
