Yes, just not quite trivial enough for me to do blearily at 5am today. :) However, this does not explain AJ's crash because he has a build with no __NR_set_thread_area. It must be the modify_ldt call failing, for which we have no explanation and AFAIK noone else has seen it. In principle the modify_ldt call can fail too, and it would be preferable to crash in abort as intended rather than crash in the errno access. Also I would be happier not having the duplication between tls.h and useldt.h.
