Elsewhere I've noted that you should change the assumes.  Overriding the
segment is fine, too, if you wish.  You don't need to tell the assembler
that this is a far jump, though, since it knows this because old_int is
doubleword.  If you wish to make everything explicit, though, the above
form is incorrect.  Try

	jmp cs:dword ptr [old_int]	; far jump indirect to saved handler
