Subject: Re: gs segment selector points to conventional memory area

%gs and %fs are not guaranteed to be anything, since any system call
may change them.  However, the selector used by <sys/farptr.h> is not
used anywhere else in the library - the library uses the other one
exclusively (we hope) for random purposes.
