Subject:	A fault report

An explanation of an odd fault that someone may have had: I have succeeded in
getting a Gnu C++ program to have a mouse event interrupt routine. OK. When
by error I set the mouse's vertical range to from 0 to 0, the first mouse
event caused a remark "divide error" (presumably in the mouse driver, without
Gnu C debug etc output; my own interrupt routine did not do any dividing) and
a DOS prompt. When I called the Gnu C++ program, it ran OK until the first time
it needed me to input a character, when it stuck tight and didn't want to know
even about ctrl-alt-del. Presumably it was still in the interrupt routine
stack level. This may explain odd events that people may have had.
