(without performing any additional limit, present, or type checks) before it generates the exception. The segment-

ES, FS, and GS registers without causing another exception. (See the Program State Change description for “Inter-
rupt 10—Invalid TSS Exception (#TS)” in this chapter for additional information on how to handle this situation.)
