Did you zero-out the SS and SP fields in the registers structure you
pass to _go32_dpmi_simulate_int()?  If you didn't you could easily get
the strange behavior you describe, because these two are used for the
temporary stack while simulating the interrupt, and they usually point
to random locations.  In DPMI mode this will also GP fault.
1.12 docs for that function mentions the need for zeroing those two.
