You might have to use a input memory restriction like so
		"movw %3, %%fs;"
in the input section add
		"m" (_dos_ds)

Didn't crash when I had it as the only inline assembly line in a program.
Maybe the prior error somehow caused this error???  I don't have allegro so I
didn't try compiling the whole thing.  Are you using version 2.7.2.1 ?
