Perhaps it is possible to force to free selectors  that were used by a a
DPMI program
and that program have just finished executing. If this were possible would
it help?

My knowledge about DPMI has completely evaporated over last 4 years but is
it possible to distinguish if a particular selecter is "used" or not by a
program?

I assume it is not possible to allocate more selectors as this is a limited
resource

Just some ideas ...
