Description

There seems to be a bug concerning _proactive reset_. This bug may be triggered in a matter of seconds when running the multi-threaded lbzip2 application on linux (32-bit).

**Command to run:**
`./drrun -reset_every_nth_bb_unit 3 -- lbzip2 -c my_file > my_file.bz2`

**Debug message:** DynamoRIO seems to believe that a client it making a raw sysenter.
