How do you get this to work? Every time I try to do this I get a GPF!

Here is the code for the simple test program I use (It doesn't work), am I 
doing something wrong?

BEGIN------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <conio.h>

char *vram = (char *) 0xa0000;

void main(void) {
 unsigned int index,dummy;
 char clrfld[64000];
 for (index=0;index<64000;index++)
       clrfld[index] = 1;
 dummy = getch();
 __asm(" movl $0x0013, %ax
         int  $0x10 ");
 strcpy(vram,clrfld); 
 dummy = getch();
}

END-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should I use INT86() rather than __asm()?
