If the problem with Ctrl-C is what I suspect it is, then you cannot have 
the cake and eat it, too: by the time Ctrl-C is converted into a SIGINT, 
it's too late--the selector loaded into DS was already made invalid, 
because that's how the DJGPP signal support works.  And if your program 
crashes because PMCOM cannot cope with an invalid DS, you cannot let 
Ctrl-C invalidate DS.  The line I posted prevents that from happening.

No.  SIGINT is _generated_ from Ctrl-C, by a special hardware interrupt 
handler installed by the DJGPP startup code.

I don't understand: are you saying that adding this line:

    __djgpp_set_ctrl_c(0);

to your program breaks it?  That is, with this line in your program, 
pressing Ctrl-C causes the program to terminate immediately?

This can be done using a simple call to kdhit(), no?  Why do you need to 
get involved with yet another interrupt and signal?  I think you have 
enough interrupts and signals in that program even without Ctrl-C ;-)
