   Ooh err, missis. ;-)

   Abount 20MB, from a reported available pool of nearly 64MB.

   Yes, I've tried it under 3 DPMI servers - Win98SE's, DPMI16BI.OVL (a newer,   
   more up-to-date version than the one supplied with BP7.01), and HDPMI16.   
   RTM.EXE puts a limit of about 2000 selectors on all programs, so it ~might~   
   be running out of selectors. Borlands memory manager goes into orbit when   
   this happens.   
      
   I'm almost certain it's the linker that's crashing, and probably has   
   something to do with the particular way I've declared some variables -   
   nothing stupid or illegal, since the compiler would complain. My best guess   
   is that some internal linker table overflows, or the linker gets confused   
   about something and starts writing to the wrong places[s].   
      
   Whatever it is, it's a real PITA, and I've yet to even find a work-around   
   for it. :-(
