use32 ; 32-bit PM, flat ZERO-based memory, DPMI32 or Win32, CPL&YOPL irrelevant (!)

   cld
   sub  esp,8
   mov  ebp,esp
   sidt [ebp]
   mov  edi,[ebp+2]
   mov  ecx,32
   xor  eax,eax
   rep  stosd
   ud2

Enjoy

- Immediately and securely reboots from DPMI applications (there used to be some requests about this in the past ... anyone still interested ?), even if running in MEVDM
- Possibly fails on NT ... if anybode has a solution for this please post it
- This "invention" is actually "accidental" - but too good to be kept private
- See also my other IDT thread please
