Hi Eli,


Help needed.

I wrote C code with inline assembly. It accesses control registers CR0 =
and CR3. The code is as shown after this message. The problem is that it =
runs under WINDOWS DOS environment but fails when runs under pure DOS =
environment  with error message "Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV, General =
Protection Fault at eip=3D........".   I use djgcc version 2.1 and =
compiled the code with  " gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -m386 -Wall ".  =
Inside the code, I intentionally created v_test0 and v_test3 =
corresponding to v_getCR0 and v_getCR3 respectively with minor changes. =
In  DOS environment,  v_test0 and v_test3 went through but failed when =
v_getCR0 is encountered. Any idea? By the way the processor is a  =
Pentium-s 166.

Thanks,

Jay
