This is probably a mostly unimportant observation.

In LINT  we see:
# Allow user-mode programs to manipulate their local descriptor tables.
# This option is required for the WINE Windows(tm) emulator, and is
# not used by anything else (that we know of).
#
options         USER_LDT                #allow user-level control of i386 ldt


The error is "and is not used by anyhting else (that we know of)."
avifile  (in ports) also uses USER_LDT
xmovie   (also in ports) uses it as well

interesting to note,  both are graphics utilities for watching video
playback.
