I've written a program using DJGPP which cycles through vast numbers of
images.  I am using an external program (DJPEG) to convert from jpeg to
ppm for each image.  I do it via system calls using the "system"
command.  After about 1000 images, the program chokes, with the
message:  "DPMI: Not enough selectors".  I'm very ignorant about these
selectors, but it appears that the system is keeping track of them after
the command has been completed.  Is there a way to reset this so that I
can continue indefinately?

Thanks for your help.
