Greetings,
	
	I had, yesterday, posted some NASM code that seemed to 
	disable interrupts in protected mode. It turns out after
	some watching with fsdb that there is a bug in NASM,
	which has nothing to do with interrupts. 

	When I push a segment register 

	push cs

	the stack pointer gets decremented by 4 instead of 2. 
	This screws up the stack and pops the wrong eflags 
	which clears the i-flag.

	If any NASM watcher/user has a patch for this, I 
	would be grateful for pointers.

	Thanks in advance
