I modified the `main' a bit to not use `_farsetsel' (paranoia) and give me
a chance to look at the printed values before it crashes (source below)
and ran it with CWSDPMI, QDPMI and PMODE.  Results: 

	QDPMI:   works, prints and beeps as advertised.
	CWSDPMI: crashes when INT 21h is issued after the RMCB is 
		 installed.  It seems the crash is *after* the RMCB is 
		 called and chains, because I hear the beep.
	PMODE:   prints 0 instead of deadbeaf, crashes with SIGSEGV when
		 INT 21h is issued.  I attach the traceback below, in the 
		 hope that it says something useful.
