LDT allocated for cloned task!
I'm seeing this message come up fairly often while running vanilla
2.4.2-pre3 on my dual Celeron system. I don't think I saw it before
while running 2.4.1, but I may have just missed it.
My system has been up around two days and has 11 of these messages in the
ring buffer.
Actually, I just remembered that I'm using the mga DRI driver module
from the DRI CVS tree rather than the built-in module, so that's not part
of the official kernel...maybe that is causing the messages.

Are you running wine or dosemu ?

Actually, I've ran both of them at least a few times this boot.
I think I've found what's doing it...xmms with the avi-xmms plugin will
cause the message to appear at startup even without playing anything.
Moving the libraries out of the /usr/lib/xmms/Input directory and
starting xmms again will not produce any message. I only just recently
downloaded this plugin which is probably why I didn't see it before.
It's also happening on my second (non-DRI) head, so it's probably not
related to that (I'll reboot and try again without any DRI modules loaded
and see).

I saw/see a lot of those messages on 2.2.18pre19 as well. I hacked the
kernel to show the process in question, and it's always xmms:
LDT allocated for cloned task (pid=20272; count=3)!
20272 pts/10 RN 186:01 xmms
And I do have the xmms-avi plugin in the plugin directory. So if you find a
bug/fix to 2.4, could you please check 2.2 as well? (I'm afraid I'm not
nearly clueful enough.)
Are these messages serious anyway?

xmms-avi uses DLL loader from wine too? I mean does it use windows codecs
to play AVIs? In this case, the dll loader set up some LDT settings and
this casue that message. However with our player - mplayer - it does not
detected my myself (it can use DLLs to play DivX movies, as well).

AFAIK: yes.

So this is a harmless message?
