	Thank-you, BTW, for pointing this out, but do you know if 0x82 or
0x7f would be good choices?  Figures -- it'd be someone else here @ SGI...
see -- now if it'd been me, I'da used 0x7f for the debugger thinking to
myself that 0x80 is the start of some number of vectors reserved for
the main ia32 kernel code.  But that's just my logic.  Perhaps the
author's intent was to have it mainlined.  

Didn't I remember hearing that it was removed? I know we keep track of SYSCALL numbers even when they are obsolete -- is there a similar INT vector list?

Sorry for the brevity of my previous reply -- I hadn't had any coffee yet is my only excuse...:-/
