Means write_ldt, and it returns successful. Can you find out what
info is pointed to by 0x40540df8 (its the struct modify_ldt_ldt_s) ?
Do you also see kernel oopes?

Anyway, most likely you have a windows application and/or driver that is
trying some not (Wabi-)supported stuff. What app is it?

Not for modify_ldt(0x1, ...) and not since 2.1.15.
