This program doesn't show correctly amount of free memory...
Why ?
How can I change it ?

#include <go32.h>
#include <dpmi.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <iostream.h>

void info() {
  _go32_dpmi_meminfo info;
  _go32_dpmi_get_free_memory_information(&info);
  cerr <<setw(9) <<  (info.available_memory  / 1024) << "    "
       <<setw(9) << ((info.available_physical_pages * 4096) / 1024)<< "    "
       <<setw(9) << ((info.available_pages * 4096) / 1024) <<
       endl;
}

int main()
{
  info();
  char* ptr = new char[10*1024*1024];  info();
  ptr[6*1024*1024]=1;  info();
  delete[] ptr;  info();

  return 0;
}


---------------- contents of stderr -
    59136        40136        59136
    48832        40136        48832    <=== It's OK
    48832        40136        48832
    48832        40136        48832    <==== Why delete[] dosn't change
information about free memory ?

Thanks for reading
