Did you read section 18.9 of the DJGPP FAQ list? It explains these
issues at some length. The FAQ is available as v2/faq210b.zip from the
same place you get DJGPP.

That's the $64,000-question. Each DPMI server does it differently.
IMHO, you don't need to know all the gory details, it will be enough to
read the DPMI spec (the FAQ includes a pointer to places on the net where
you can get it). If you *do* need the gory details, you will have to
look inside the CWSDPMI sources (most of the other servers don't come
with free sources).
