It is not libkse that is causing the messages.  It is some library
or driver that licq is using.  The kernel spews these messages
whenever something uses static LDT allocation.  We know that nvidia
drivers and/or their OpenGL library do this, and they have been
notified of it (by me).  If there is another library or application
that is also using static LDT allocation, please help us find it
so it can be fixed also.
