Hello again.

I have written this interrupt handler in assembly which I want to set to
interrupt 9. I have enclosed the two files, one written in C and one in
NASM assembly.
This code compiles just fine, and it runs fine until I press a key,
which I am guessing calls my interrupt, then it stuffs up my computer
completely.
I am guessing the problem is in the regions I am trying to lock with
__dpmi_lock_linear_region, and I have read through loads of docs and FAQ
but for the life of me I can't figure out why it wont work!
If anyone can possibly look at my code and tell me where I have slipped
up I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks heaps,
Alex

P.S. I originally had the interrupt accessing the keystatus array but I
removed this for simplicity. It still doesn't work!
