OK, so I found a bug in ldttest.c -- it sets CS to an LDT segment, but
it never sets SS to an LDT segment. This means that it should really
have zero footprint versus the espfix code, and implies that we instead
have another bug involved. Why the espfix code should have any effect
whatsoever is a mystery, however... if it indeed does?
I have uploaded a fixed ldttest.c, but it seems we might be chasing more
than that...
