+					<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.
