The problem was that the irqstacks.asm init (for config.sys STACKS=n where n>0) was setting up the wrong segments for IRQ vectors. It should be correct now in SVN (tested with Bochs). IRQTEXT needs to be present to force the saved IVT vectors to be at 70:100, which is the RBIL documented location; otherwise they are stored somewhere else.
