   My apologies, I did not think that it would matter (still don't, but ...).   
      
   The OS is Windows, XP pro sp3, 32 bit.   The used environment is Borlands   
   Tasm v5.2 (Assembler).

   The idea is that I would be able to write such FPU debugging code myself.   
   Somehow I like it that way. :-)

   Both where what I was looking for.  Thanks.   
      
   Alas, I still can't get it to work :   
      
   lea edi,[@@Foo]        ;size is 2000h. Plenty of space.   
   add edi,003Fh          ;[1]   
   and  edi,not 003Fh   
   or    eax,-1                ;Not mentioned in my docs, but ...   
   or    edx,-1   
   db 0Fh,0AEh,27h  ;xsave [edi]   
      
   It still "crashes" ("{program.exe}has encountered a problem and needs to   
   close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.")   
      
   [1] My "The IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 2"   
   mentions an alignment of 16.   
      
   Any ideas ?
