Well, I have had lengthy experience with Turbo-C and generally have a high regard
for it. The memory model snafu's on the iAPX80x86 are however legendary. I would
recommend (4) things:

(1) read the manual on memory models VERY CAREFULLY, you may find some surprises.
(2) single step your code at the assembler level and watch what is happening to
	particularly all the address registers.
(3) if you are using pointers, print out their values with printf() while not
	running under the debugger.
(4) I have traced a many a weird bug to a missing <include> file.

happy debugging...
