Is 3F00 broken only under LFN?  What happens if you set LFN=n on W2K:
does it work then?

If it's broken without LFN as well, you need to drop the test for
_USE_LFN in these patcehs.

And that memset to zero out the registers' struct is not needed when
you call __dpmi_int (it zeroes out the important parts for you).

Otherwise, the changes look fine.  Thanks!
