I've been thinking about improving the exception handling stuff in 
djgpp2. An application overwriting `dpmiexcp.c' will of course destroy 
the possibility of graceful program termination. Would it be possible 
to put exception & signal handling in "kernel-space". i.e. allocate a 
descriptor at run-time and copy all the needed kernel code into it?  
How can `ld' be persuaded to put this code at the lowest possible 
offset to save space for the descriptor?
