Greetings,

	I have a problem in running fsdb immediately after exiting from
emacs (19.34 latest binaries from simtel) and *only* after exiting from
emacs. I have a plain DOS 6.22 machine (comspec=4dos.com). fsdb myprog.exe
crashes even before the fsdb screen comes up with the following traceback: 

-----------------------------------------------------------
Cannot continue from exception, exiting due to signal 0123

I discovered quite by accident that if I run info (infolines=43)
before running fsdb (but after exiting from emacs) fsdb starts up
smoothly and continues as expected. Suspecting that this might be a
screen issue, I changed my emacs setting from mode4350 to plain mode
25, but the problem persists. 

I then tried to rebuild fsdb with -g for a more meaningful traceback
using makefile.cws in the directory src/debug/fsdb/ which failed due
to the presence of a statement

xorl    %%al, %%al

in fullscr.c, which I corrected after which fsdb.exe got built. Using
this "newfsdb myprog.exe" after exiting emacs gives the following
traceback:

------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------- 

I hope that I have done nothing silly. 
I am adding here the relevant part of my _emacs file:

-------------------------------------------------------
(setq load-path (cons "~/site-lisp" load-path))
(setq enable-local-eval t)
(setq column-number-mode t)

;;; Work in 80x50 screen size, but switch back to 80x25
;;; before exiting and when suspending Emacs.
;
;(setq screen-dimensions-25x80 3)
;(setq screen-dimensions-50x80 85)
(mode4350)
;                                                                       
(defun my-exit-stuff ()
  "My own exit routine.  Currently just switches to the 25x80 mode."
(mode25))
(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'my-exit-stuff)
;
(add-hook 'suspend-hook 'mode25)
(add-hook 'suspend-resume-hook 'mode4350)
------------------------------------------------------

I would be happy to supply any other relevant information that might
help.


Many thanks in advance
Gurunandan
