1'st, that's a nice find 2'nd, as sort of original author, my 2 cents: INT xx enters the interrupt handler with IF cleared, so this should be done also when being rerouted through the v86_monitor; looks like a plain bug to me I have no idea if the original author made this bug, or this bug creeped in when I converted it to (the original) EMM386, but I can't remember doing this on purpose. > So, is there a real bug normally masked in some way, most software interupt handlers will re-enable interrupts quickly, so this would be masked > Changing a long-standing fundamental behavior to fix a single problem in a > virtual environment with one program can be worrying. I understand that you are not just quickly changing this, as this could have other funny sideeffects... If I had to decide this, I'd change this, and see what happens, but I leave this entirely up to you (YOU are the one that would get complains should sometnig break, thanks for your work) Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
