I must apologize for posting the source code below; I meant to post this question to the FreeBasic group rather than the FreeDOS group, but you still gave me some things to tryl.
A bit more on this, though, after some more investigation: the exact same program, not even recompiled, works just fine under ms-dos, but not freedos. I'll do some more detailed comparison on the boot images to see what (if anything; they were supposed to be otherwise identical) is different between the two other than the DOS version.
