That's not good.

Can you backtrace it?  (I.e. compite ldt_gdt_32 with -g and load the
core dumb in gdb?)  My best guesses are either a signal delivery
failure (although that shouldn't be a problem for 32-bit userspace on
any kernel) or an actual LDT access fault, and the latter would be
interesting.

I haven't been able to reproduce this.
