    I think I'm missing something here. Why does debug32 need to be compiled
    with the small memory model under TC? Is the rest of the lower 640k
    needed for urgent DJGPP bookkeeping chores?

DJ wrote the 1st version in small model. I don't think he expected
debug32 to increase in size as it is now. So all pointers, memory
references and function return in .asm moduls are in near (16 bit)
pointers. Changing that is a hassel but can be done. Someone has done
that for v1.05, but the modifications are not upward compatible with
the new version.
