Subject: Re: Dos App hangs with DPMI / PIC problem
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2004 02:42:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY15-F19qEKApzbCeW0002e10a@hotmail.com> (raw)


I have attached dosdebug to dosemu when it hangs, and I got the following:

System state: running in real mode while in DPMI
AX=0000 BX=800a CX=0000 DX=0003
SI=874c DI=023a SP=056c BP=c316
DS=c316 FS=0000 GS=0000 FL=3286
CS:IP=0522:0434
SS:SP=c316:05bc

0522:0434 53 push bx

What should I do?  Thanks.
