/*
I want to write a handler for int 0x21 and call then external programs.
Every thing in my program work well with this handler, but if I call
an external program (like gcc), computer crashs. Where is the Error or
the problem, which I have to solve? (I'm using DJGPP V2Beta4 GCC V2.7.0
and the patched file gormcb.c). Program was comiled with

  gcc -o test21 test21.cc
