Is there a limit of 128MB of RAM indeed? I thought that DJGPP ver. 2
overcomes this limit.

This is a part of faq202.txt file:

*A* :  DJGPP is a port of GNU C/C++ compiler and development tools to
32-bit,
protected-mode environment on Intel 32-bit CPUs running MS-DOS and
compatible
operating systems, by DJ Delorie <dj AT delorie DOT com> and friends.
Starting from
v2.0, DJGPP programs do not need a separate extender program, only a
DPMI
server to run; DJGPP includes a free 32-bit DPMI server which allows
for a
32-bit, 4 GByte flat address space and up to 256 MBytes of virtual
memory, a
compiler which produces 32-bit protected-mode code, and a suite of GNU
development tools ported to MS-DOS.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
