           Summary: Bug in int 21, function 3f (read) causing  WATCOM Win386
                    Read error
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-dos
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: lupien at physique.usherbrooke.ca


An old windows 3.1 program (compiled with a watcom compiler) was failing with
the message Read Error in a window called WATCOM Win386. I found the problem was
due to count being set to 0 in int21, function 3f. In my case the
GetSelectorLimit16 was set at 0xffff (DX was set 0) and would make maxcount 0. 

Below is a simple fix (making maxcount a double).
