(crash)

Too much.. should be room for static data

Decrease this ... start with zero as a test (disable paging).

Why is there only 32MB showing available?  very bad if ..  ah, don't use
EMM386 unless you put NOVCPI on the command line...  There are many bad
bugs in EMM386 if you reach it's max limit!  I see hard hangs on the
W9x release at the limit.  Maybe fix in r5.

You should get the HIMEM.SYS from Win9x - it will allow you to use all
of your memory.
