I think, when the question of avoiding GO32's desire to page out everything
came up earlier, DJ said that GO32 would intercept attempts to sneak around
it and do the paging anyway.  This was a few releases back, and I never
actually tried it.  I'd love to have a GO32 that allowed a system() call
under both DOS and DPMI without paging everything out.  (That hasn't changed,
has it?  Last time I checked, DPMI always paged out, non-DPMI depended on
stubedit settings.)
