When i malloc() some memory, and i free(),
_go32_dpmi_get_free_memory_information not changes
why? where is my memory?

in a document about dpmi i was reading:

"when you call free(), go32 doesn't return memory to the system, it just
adds it to its internal pool of free pages. So from the system point of
view, thes pages are not 'free' "

well, but if i need to "reality" free my memory, What can i do?

please, tellme something... and sorry for my abstract english.
