I saw this article in C User's Journal about multi-threaded C using 
setjmp/longjmp. This was something proposed to me a while ago, and thought
I'd try and work up my own code. After looking at the code I realized that
each thread is going to need a new stack. Assembler in hand, I write this
fairly generic assembler routine which launches the new thread with a new
stack. Everything works great until I run this under OS/2 rather than MS DOS.
OS/2 will not let me clear interrupts while changing SS:SP.  My question:
Is it necessary to disable interrupts while switching stacks in protected 
mode? If so, what is the appropriate meathod under OS/2? Is there a call
to prevent task switching/interrupt processing? Or, should it be implemented
as part of an IOPL segment? 

Thanx for your support :)
