You probably meant apps_ds, right?  Because CS is already set when you
enter the handler.

Use cs:___djgpp_ds_alias (3 leading underscores), this is what it's
there for.  You should always use the DS alias, not the DS itself,
since the latter is invalidated (by making its limit be 4KB) when a
signal is pending.

No, see above.  Use the alias.
