<Lovely informative response about locking memory clipped>

Ok... I know what locking memory is, and am aware that DOS dies when
interrupt code is swapped to disk, but what does Win95 do? Does it
gracefully attempt to unswap and run the code, or does the app crash?

I'd test it myself, but I'm not really willing to crash my computer
unneccessarily... :)
