/*
 * sehfix.c
 *
 * A test program involving an exception handler that fixes the exception
 * causing condition.
 *
 * In this code we install an exception handler my_handler and then a piece
 * of inline assembly attempts to write at the address marked in eax, after
 * setting eax to 10. This should produce an exception. The handler then
 * changes the eax register of the exception context to be the address of
 * a static variable and restarts the code. This should allow everything
 * to continue.
