The problem is not in TURBO, it is in you INLINE statement. If you
take a look at the code that is generated at INTR_TEST, you will
see the following:

	PUSH	BP
	MOV	BP,SP
	PUSH	BP
	JMP	L1
L1:	STI		; STATMENTS FROM inline
	IRET

What you have to do is to modify your INLINE to include the POPs
of 2 BPs; e.g.

     inline($FB/$5D/$5D/$CF)

which will generate the following:

	PUSH	BP
	MOV	BP,SP
	PUSH	BP
	JMP	L1
L1:	STI		; STATMENTS FROM inline
	POP	BP
	POP	BP
	IRET
