Two words: PROTECTED MODE. You CANNOT access any memory that you have not
reserved for yourself! There are ways to get around this, some of which are less
pretty than others, but think of it as a blessing. Anything done that could be
dangerous (corrupting the interupt table, for example) cannot be done directly
by screwing with the null pointer. Read the DJGPP FAQ
