Some additional info :

    I printed out all of the data I allocated, and even the ASCII output
was 70 Mbytes only! Here is the memory info I got at the last run:

Out of memory in MyRealloc

Memory required: 80 byte
Memory allocation count: 370970
Total allocated memory: 21533687 byte
Calculated total allocated memory: 32113104 byte
Reallocation count: 1139310

_go32_dpmi_get_free_memory_information:
  available_memory: 162299904
  available_pages: 39624
  available_lockable_pages: 7297
  linear_space: -1
  unlocked_pages: 15600
  available_physical_pages: 7297
  total_physical_pages: 15600
  free_linear_space: -1
  max_pages_in_paging_file: 32760
_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory: 40184
_go32_dpmi_remaining_virtual_memory: 40218

So why have I run out of memory?
