DOS version = 6.20
EMM386 version = 4.49
HIMEM version = ??, but dated 9-30-93.
CPU = 486DX2/66
RAM = 8 MB

If it helps, you might try telling your EMM386 to only use 7 MB for EMS,
so the DPMI thinks that's all that's available.  My system ends up with
about 5.5 MB total free RAM after all drivers are loaded.

As far as the EMM386 line goes; those are the figures that were set
up with my computer, and edited slightly by MEMMAKER.  I can't see
why they would cause any problems, but I'll go ahead and try
fiddling with them anyway.  Actually, I deleted my emacs src directory
to save space <g> - I'll have to extract and rebuild it in order to test
things again.  When that's done I'll get back to you.  :)

Thanks for the help!
