You are calling `printf' from a real-mode callback.  That is a bad
idea, since `printf' calls DOS functions.

Please try using cprintf or some other means of telling you that the
receiver works without calling DOS functions, and see whether it makes
the program work.

What is that call to _go32_dpmi_simulate_fcall_iret for in the function 
below?
