Description: Critical-Error Handler Address
The machine interrupt vector for Int 24H (memory locations 0000:0090H
through 0000:0093H) contains the address of the routine that receives
control when a critical error (usually a hardware error) is detected.
This address is also copied into locations 12H through 15H of the pro-
gram segment prefix (PSP) when a program is loaded but before it begins
executing, and is restored from the PSP (in case it was modified by the
application) as part of MS-DOS's termination handling.
This interrupt should never be issued directly.
