Take a look at the module exceptn.S in the library sources 
(djlsr203.zip): the DJGPP startup code already installs a PM handler for 
Int 24h, and that handler instructs DOS to fail the call.

Note that some DPMI servers (notably, CWDPMI) catch Int 24h themselves 
and fail the call even before your application sees Int 24h.  See section 
22.13 of the DJGPP FAQ list for more fun.
