This program:

#include <dpmi.h>
#include <go32.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
        if(_go32_dpmi_lock_code((void *)0x1000,
                __dpmi_get_segment_limit(_my_cs())))
                printf("%x\n", __dpmi_error);

        return 0;
}

prints out 600 (the DPMI function code for locking). This is bizzare even by itself, because
although I know some DPMI servers don't return error codes, preserving AX would seem to indicate the
error happened very early on. Still, shouldn't it work? (According to System Monitor, I have 14.4MB
of free physical memory.)

System specs:
Windows 98
Celeron 1GHz CPU
192MB RAM
gcc -v prints:
Reading specs from d:/djgpp/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.953/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315/djgpp (release)
as -v prints:
