I've got a question about movedata.

I've allocated some memory and I've got the selector for it. Then I want
to move some of the allocated memory to a variable.


Doing something like this:


	movedata(source_selector,0,_my_ds(),&int_variable,2);

I get an General Protection Fault and a Call frame traceback error, and
my program exits with an error code of 255.

However, if I do something like this:

	movedata(_my_ds(),0,my_ds(),&int_variable,2);

Everything works OK.

Anyone?!!!
