Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Charles, can you comment on this?  It seems that EMM386 itself
generates the exception, or somehow contributes to it.  The last two
configurations have the font table in the same place (FFFF:BF32), the
only difference is that in the case which works EMM386 is not loaded.

To recap, this program accesses the active font table at ES:BP using farptr
functions, SRC is the linear address where the table begins, and EAX
is the linear address where it crashes (if it crashes).
