Hi all!

I wrote a small program to find out my LAN card MAC address, based on
the example provided by Microsoft, using Netbios, adapted with help of
intwin.hlp (interrupt 0x5c).

It works fine when run as is, but gives incorrect results when run
under GDB. Seems that memory is used differently, but I don't see why.

Can some guru explain it ?

Thanks in advance.
