That would be terrifying.  Presumably there's a jmp past that ret
somewhere.  I got the impression from your first email that some
guests do boot, and that can only happen through that iret. 

Does adding an explicit "return;" in C after the asm block change the
behaviour?

Yep.  What version of bcc are you using? (bcc -v says 0.16.14 for me)

Cheers,
