I've never tried hooking a software interrupt with djgpp, so I could be
totally wrong about this, but I think you are issuing that call in the
wrong way. The __dpmi_int() function calls the real mode interrupt
handler, but you have only installed a protected mode handler (according
to the DPMI spec, hardware interrupts are automatically reflected into
protected mode but software interrupts are not). I think you will need
to generate the interrupt directly by issuing an asm "int"
instruction...

If the goal of this program is to eventually make it hook a hardware
interrupt instead, you should be aware that calling printf() from an irq
routine is not a good idea!
