This refers to validity of segment registers fs/gs in sigcontext.
Under -stable both of them are unused and signal handlers have to
read the registers directly. Under -current fs was valid and gs
still unused until I changed it recently, now they are both valid.
This was done a couple weeks before 3.3-RELEASE, so I didn't have
time to change -stable as well. I planned to do it immediately
afterwards, but Marcel's 128-signal change came in, and I decided
to wait for -current to stablize first. I guess it's time for me to
make the changes. A word of warning, after the changes wine should
be source compatible between -stable and -current, binary compiled
on -stable should still work on -current, but not vice versa.
There's another patch regarding SIGTRAP in the PR. I recall there
were some discussions about it, but I don't know what's the final
resolution (if there was one). Maybe Marcel and Bruce know better.

This is the ldt sharing patch I had a while ago. It's still in my local
tree, but I haven't updated the patch on my web page for a long time.
I wanted to commit this patch, but I haven't found any one with enough
time and interest to review it. Julian, would you? I can send you the
latest diff.

If I could get the ldt sharing stuff committed, the patchset would be
a lot more manageable :-)
