D*mn, the djgpp mailing-list processor doesn't add a "Reply-to"
field. So I'm resending this to the list.

d507.S uses the macro DPMI() which does honour the carry flag
and set EAX = -1 if it was on. See dpmidefs.h.

My guess is that NTVDM silently ignores that function. I tried
the same code under plain DOS with CWSDPMI and DPMI-one.
They both crashed the test-program as they should.
