Thanks for the info.  But I'm not sure I understand the last part:
what exactly do you mean by ``manipulate memory in the program's
arena''?  DJGPP programs don't manipulate the arena memory in the
usual sense (you can't do that under DPMI), but perhaps you mean
functions that call malloc/free?

Btw, is this documented somewhere?  I cannot seem to find anything in
the GCC docs, but I might be missing something (GCC docs need *lots*
of work in the indexing area, the index is mostly useless).
