Hi

I'm writing a program that uses some privilege levels using call gates.
Calling the gate changes the privilege and switches to another stack
specific to the new privilege. The old stack comes back when the
privileged routine does 'RET'. I wonder if the privileged function can
throw exceptions which will be caught by the non-privileged caller?
