Did you recompile a new kernel with "options USER_LDT"?  If so, you
may be running into a limitation with the current i386_set_ldt()
implementation.  It doesn't allow more than 512 LDT entries per
process, and it has other problems like leaking memory at exit.

I have sent a patch to core FreeBSD team members, but they have
been busy, so I don't believe that the patches have been reviewed
or commited.
