True, sort of didn't didn't think of that. I'll make the size dynamic.

For fsdb, would the following modification be correct

   else if (i == 8 || (i >= 10 && i <= 14) || i == 17)
     message (CL_Error, "Exception %d (0x%02x) occurred, error code=%#lx",
          i, i, a_tss.tss_error);
|  else if (i < 32)                  /* use to be just 'else' */
     message (CL_Error, "Exception %d (0x%02x) occurred", i, i);

This 'fixes' the spurious Exception bug I mentioned earlier, but it would be preferable if I
could find the real cause of this problem.  I've looked at the exception handling code in
src/libc/go32 (dpmiexcp.c and exceptn.s) but I couldn't find anything definite.  Is there
somewhere else I should be looking?

Bill
