ok, I have red djgpp faq (15.2) and I know why _go32_dpmi_remain...
indicates the same values, but..

system doesn't see freed memory but cwsdpmi should see it. So why program  
hangs after several load-unload sequences in load_datafile function?


One more problem:
even after reeboot go32_v2 answers : descriptors exhausted.
Do someone knows why?
