Wondering if anyone can help..

I've written a thread package using djgpp. It works fine at the moment but
I was wondering if its necessary to save the section registers, EG. %cs %ds
%ss %es %fs and %gs when I swap threads.

As I said, it works fine with all the tests I've thrown at it without
saving them and just using their current values but I'm not sure if they
change in certain circumstances.

Thanks

Ps. I'd appreciate it if a few people would look over the package before I
post it. Please reply to the above address if you interested.
