Description Gregoire Welraeds 2001-02-16 09:40:00 UTC
In the kernel 4.1.1 LINT file, users can find the following help for the
USER_LDT option:

# 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).
#

but aviplay from the current port of avifile also needs this option to be
set. This port version does not requires Wine to installed.

How-To-Repeat: 
See LINT file for 4.1.1 kernel configuration in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf

This is irrelevant in -CURRENT, I'll look at it 
for the -STABLE branch after the RELEASE.
