My program while reading in a 200KB text data file, it exits with
the following message:

Virtual memory exceeded in `new'

I thought DJGPP allows me up to 256MB of virtual memory? Then why
does the problem occurs when reading a small 200KB text file?

Whats more it's just a simple test program to read in a text file
and display it out, so the problem of memory leak (if any) is not
so serious.

My program can read in file smaller than 240KB without problem.
Beyond that, the problem will surface. Any idea what's wrong?
