With the great libc debacle of 2001, I have not tried
to update my system for about 2 weeks.  In that time I
may have missed the commit message that said that USER_LDT, which was needed 
for at least wine, was removed.

root[221] cd /usr/src/
root[222] setenv KERNCONF `hostname -s`
root[223] make buildkernel

/sys/modules/svr4/TO-DO:  * VM86 and USER_LDT are currently disabled (low-priority)

So, is USER_LDT no longer needed, and will wine work?
