ok guys I'll field this one:

Usually (pretty much always :) in a multitasking
environment each application has it's own memory
space. No other application is able to alter the
memory of another application, therefore your 'i' variable is perfectly safe.
Some problems with multitasking involve the kernel
itself: what if two applications call the same
function? For example, two separate programs
tell the OS to read a sector from the HD. If that
OS function uses the same buffer for each read,
and is interrupted in the middle, you've got a
problem... the wrong data may be sent to the wrong program.
Hence the reason you are getting substandard popped
kernels, What I would recommend is reading the faq's on
http://drywell.osdev.org/ <<and go from there this
is not easy but its not rocket science either, after
all that dumbass orvill with his stupid suspenders
has figured it out.

as for the colonels recipie have you tried asking?

Just a thought.....and my two cents

I myself think that multitaking a operating system is bad for the
kernel, I usally heat the corn for about 2minutes and 45secs,
then reboot into dos to eat them, after that I finish up,
by licking the jar of the butter that I used.
