Every problem is worth investigating, but time is limited.

FWIW, it seems less is looping issuing the two service calls INT21
AX=0x4400, BX=0 (which returns DX=0x80f3) and IN21 AX=0x4406, BX=0
(which returns AL=0) repeatedly. (Alas I'm not sure whether the carry
flag is set or not as the trace printouts don't contain that.)

gdb behaves similarly.


Right,
