I'm kind of embarrassed to point out that the *entire* problem was due
to not turning off run-time stack checking.  I can use the exact same
code as Borland, but compile with /Gs, and it works!

But:
 - Why isn't outp (MicroSoft) a "nice" function?
 - We checked the MS documentation and several other books, but
   nothing mentioned the /Gs switch (in relation to HW ints),
   any reasons why?

I must thank the net, because that is where the answer came from!
