Very true. In this case, though, it seems to be just pgcc with -O6 that
causes the trouble. After it clicked that everyone having this trouble
was using pgcc, I downloaded a copy myself and sure enough, the same
thing happened to me :-)

I've split that code across three files now, and it seems to be ok. If
anyone still has this problem with the next WIP version, please let me
know...

Strangely, on my machine when I set the Win95 DPMI properties to auto,
go32-v2 claims I have 24 meg free! Do you think Win95 is lying to me, or
could my version default to something other than 16 meg?
