Hi all,
I am seeing a reproducible panic here on a very recent (~1 hour ago)
-current kernel with USER_LDT set; it goes away if I disable USER_LDT
(but then mplayer fails; see below). The panic is triggered by trying
to use mplayer to play anything using the win32 dlls
(pkgsrc/multimedia/win32-codecs). If I disable USER_LDT I can't play
the files, and mplayer reminds me that I need to set USER_LDT in order
to load the windows codecs. I didn't get all the guts of the panic
since I was copying by hand, but here's the gist of it:
mutex_enter with held simple_lock 0xcec8ae74 CPU 0
/usr/src/src-current/sys/arch/i386/i386/sys_machdep:296
uvm_fault(0xcec89a80, 0, 1) -> 0xe
kernel: supervisor trap page fault, code=0
Stopped in pid 29.1 (mplayer) at netbsd:db_read_bytes+0x30: movl 0

"sync" fails, and all I can do is reboot.
