Hello, Processes can change their Local Descriptor Table using modify_ldt() system called. see "man modify_ldt" or : (for x386 look at include/asm-i386/unistd.h: #define __NR_modify_ldt 123)
However, usually there is no need to manipulate the LDT with this system call. I saw in wine a call to modify_ldt() (libs/wine/ldt.c) I was wondering in which occasions is this system call being invoked: did anybody had encountered (or used himeslf) a call to modify_ldt() in other apps (emulators maybe ? ). -- RG ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
