Any idea what's gone wrong here? Wine is an exceptional bit of software, in many ways. One way it is exceptional is that it uses the system in a number of ways that nothing else does. For example it sets various special segment register settings and defines several different segments on the LDT. This is something that is different to some extent between i386 and amd64 and it is possible that the code for 386 LDT syscalls under amd64 may not work correctly. nothing else would test this. > > xw > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
