I talked to Antonio about this.  When he runs his tests under DPMI they
work fine, which says this is a GO32 problem.  His problem is he is
also using graphics, so a test version of GRX 2.0 is required to both
at the same time.

To get stable interrupt handling you must run under DPMI, or re-write
sections of GO32.  If you are very careful (and lucky) you may get GO32
to work in some cases, but this is really limited to very simple operations.

Did you try running in DPMI mode?  Are you running with lots of memory?

You can get stable interrupts under DJGPP, it just isn't easy yet.  I
have test codes which generate millions of interrupts and run for hours
on end (under DPMI) without any problems at all.
