This works great on any machine I ever tested it without APM support in
the kernel. As soon as APM is included and the kernel makes it's first 
call to the apm bios trampoline code, it locks solid for me on any machine
with an APM bios I've tested it on.

So: use himem and dosboot only with kernels without APM, avoid himem 
otherwise (easy to do with Windows 95/98: press F8 while boot, choose
to confirm every drive and reject everything).
