Hi,
there's a problem with the recent FCB fix -- I was a little suspect
seeing the change.
After testing with the old GEM, it seems the problem is in FCBOpen: it
initializes too much, see also
http://www.drdos.com/dosdoc/sysprog/chap4.htm
After opening GEM does something like "mov cx,es:[007d]" for the
random i/o call and that value is lost (it was 3) from FCBOpen's init.
see the fix below
