+ <p>An issue has been reported on systems running MidnightBSD for amd64/emt64 processors. (in 64bit os) This patch was released AFTER
+ 0.2.1-RELEASE. Update systems to RELENG_0_2 or CURRENT to get the fix.
+ From the FreeBSD advisory on the same issue: If a General Protection Fault happens on a FreeBSD/amd64 system while
+ it is returning from an interrupt, trap or system call, the swapgs CPU
+ instruction may be called one extra time when it should not resulting
+ in userland and kernel state being mixed.
