21-soft-int-fix.patch

This patch has been included in Linux 2.1.33

There is a bug in 2.1.32 which makes soft-INTs invoked by DPMI-clients die in the kernel instead of passing them to user space. I guess Wine and Wabi also will suffer from that. This bug should also be present in 2.1.31 as told by Alberto Vignani , who first reported this bug and supplied debug info.
Below is a fix for this bug, ... and a correction to avoid name clash (gcc will otherwise complain about 'show_regs' beeing redefined static).
