Hello all
I am having problems with the iBCS module with 2.1.109 and above. This module uses the call gate in the default ldt as an entry point.
But all programs using the module are now crashing with a segmentation violation. It looks like the default ldt is not being setup and the programs are crashing because the call gate is missing.
I have had a look at the code but am unable to workout where the problem is but i did come across something odd while i was doing some tests. I modified the modify_ldt system call to copy over the default ldt when it sets up a new ldt (Why does it not do this normaly?) and all the segmentation faults went away but why? I cant work out how this could cause the problem to go away.
Confused David Bruce.
