Try re-enabling the Swap File for Paging. I'm pretty sure that this is 
what Sandmann was talking about.

Sbrk() is used by Malloc().
Malloc() has a 2GB limit since the int size is a _signed_ integer.

The only place I seem to be able to find CWSDPMI r6 is a Czech site:
<http://www.volny.cz/rayer/programm/programm.htm#DJGPP>
<http://www.volny.cz/rayer/programm/cwsdpmi6.zip>

PMODE/DJ can be got from one of the mirrors listed at
<http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html> under v2misc/pmode13b.zip

Obviously, DJGPP has been pulled from all of the SimtelNet mirrors, 
though some still retain the djgpp.README file.
