Hello,

The following patch has been provided to me by François Gouget
(fgo...@free.fr), a friend of mine and a Wine developer. It fixes
a discrepancy in the Linux emulator between the native i386 trap
codes and the FreeBSD trap codes, causing Linux programs such as,
for example, (a Linux binary of) Wine to act weirdly or break.

If nobody objects to it, I'd like to commit it to -current.

Pierre

Running a Linux binary of Wine in FreeBSD's Linux emulation?

Does this really work? If so cudos to the Linux emulation! (It's hard
enough at times to maintain a workable FreeBSD binary of Wine.) :-)
