Sorry, this won't even assemble (blush).  Also, leaving the DS alias in 
SS is a bad idea, since the alias selector is freed by our exit code, so
if the signal handler exits, it will bomb right after freeing the alias.

Here's a solution that seems to work.  It forces the normal DS selector 
into SS if it finds SS holding the DS alias.  Comments?
