Hi Eric,
I am not sure if this is related to the crashes you experience. But 
aren't you supposed to outportb (0x43, 0x36) before changing the 
timer's frequency?




I.e. before you do that:
   outportb(0x40,0x00);  /* Setting 16x clock tick frequency */
   outportb(0x40,0x10);  /* ...will trigger the error easily */

or that:
   outportb(0x40,0x00);  /* Reset clock tick frequency */
   outportb(0x40,0x00);

Life would be much easier if I had the source code.
