Available memory does not decrease. The _speculation_ was that selectors
were not being released. Since the real-mode gcc fixed the problem with no
apparent performance degradation, I saw no reason not to use it. On the
other hand, if djgpp 2.0 is going to not use a Borland compiler, the problem
may come back.

I can't remember for sure whether I tested under Windows or not. If I did, I
did not get failures. I suppose I should go back and test again, both with
Windows and with other DPMI providers such as QDPMI.
