"options USER_LDT" and mplayer

mplayer built without problems, but would not play my *.mov file asking 
if USER_LDT was enabled in the kernel. I know it's harmless in FreeBSD 
and is now the default but it's not the default DragonFly kernel options 
file ( it's not even commented out ). I recompiled the kernel with 
"options USER_LDT" and mplayer played the quicktime movie. Samurai 
everywhere.

It did give a warning ( see below ) however, it did not cause any 
problems that I have noticed.

Is this safe? If so why isn't USER_LDT the default?
