But emm386 is not part of kernel.
But it is part of MS-DOS.
"It" not breaks MS-DOS compatability, there is only "breakage" with
alone configuration of alone program coder.

If in some configuration (in MS-DOS) you load some driver and you will
not load this driver under FD and some program without this driver will
behave differently, then this is _not_ and issue of FD.

Right now I run (16-bit) MS-DEBUG and inspect registers (with help of
pushad instruction, as offered by Eric): some high parts are nonzero (for
example, EBX and EDX).
Ok, if this is so... I just wonder how that program that relies on
having high parts cleared has ever worked under MS-DOS.
