The symptoms would be that you will sometimes lose keystrokes and timer
ticks.  You don't see this right now probably due to the fact that your
program doesn't do much except hooking interrupts.  Try to run some file
operations in the foreground (i.e. in the main() function) while the
interrupts are hooked and you should see this.

I will try to make it more clear, but please also consider what, if
anything, needs amendment after you've solved your problems.  If you
cannot do it right by reading the FAQ and the docs, something *must* be
missing.
