I've got some code that loads the 8x8 BIOS font with dosmemget. For some
reason it doesn't want to work anymore under plain old DOS. It works fine
under a DOS box from Windows 95. Is this a bug in CWSDPMI? I'm almost 100%
sure that this code worked before, and I haven't changed it since. Here's
the line that fouls up:

void GI_LoadFont(void)
{
GI_CHAR_SET = malloc(8*256);

// get the ROM font from F000:FA6E and load into memory

dosmemget((0xF000*16)+0xFA6E, 8*256, GI_CHAR_SET);
}

Like I stated before this code worked fine until today. I have no idea what
the problem is!
