Hello!

When releasing the resources of a memory mapped device, why does
__dpmi_free_physical_address_mapping fail?

....
if(__dpmi_free_ldt_descriptor(Info.Selector) == SUCCESSFUL)
// workes fine!
      { DPMIInfo.address = Info.Linear;
// SUCCESSFUL is defined with 0
        if(__dpmi_free_physical_address_mapping(&DPMIInfo) == SUCCESSFUL)
// <--- fail! : return value: -1
        { return(true);         // everything worked fine!
        }else
        { return(false);        // unmapping failed
        }

Please send your solution(s) and/or comment(s) to
