Sure.  There were some other things too, but that one jumped out. One
obscure problem I saw was calling a BIOS function from within the TSR.
They generally are not re-entrant and since you were (attempting) to
hook the timer, I'd be expecting an occasional lockup.
You can trap INT 28 and set a flag when DOS is ready, test the INDOS
and CRITERR flags, or do the sure thing and avoid the BIOS call by
reading the port directly.
