Suggestion: read the FAQ.  It explains in section 12.9 that you cannot 
debug a program that hooks the keyboard interrupt.  This is a basic 
limitation of the current debug support under DJGPP.

The latest version of the DJGPP FAQ list is available as v2/faq201b.zip 
from the same place you get DJGPP.
