    The situation is as follows: I wrote a C++ program with Watcom, that
loads external modules (lets call them drivers). The "driver" is written
with GCC because it supports binary targets (maybe other compilers do
support?). So the C++ program reads the driver into a new allocated segment.
So when it calls a function from the driver it must do a far call. So the
function must end by retf - isn't it? :-) So that's the problem...
