I want to call a vesa function that needs a segment register value.  I
am using int86() as my function call, and assumed that djgpp would use
a default segment value.  However, the vesa function does not work
with this method:

unsigned short Glad::GetVesaVersionNumber(void)
  {
  unsigned short			Buffer[128];
  union Regs			Regs;

  Regs.x.ax = 0x4f00;
  Regs.x.di = &Buffer; 		//This generates a warning,
  int86(0x10,&Regs,&Regs);
  return Buffer[2];
  }
