If so, you may be running into a limitation with the current i386_set_ldt() implementation. It doesn't allow more than 512 LDT entries per process, and it has other problems like leaking memory at exit. I have sent a patch to core FreeBSD team members, but they have been busy, so I don't believe that the patches have been reviewed or commited. -- /---------------------------------------------------------------\ | #include <std_disclaimer.h> | brians@ngc.com | | #undef COMPANY_REPRESENTATIVE | brians@mandor.dev.com | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Eat or eat not.
