Hi,
	Im experiencing some rather frustrating problems under djgpp 110 and
am hoping that somewhere out there someone may know of a fix. The program that
I am currently working on download's a bunch of code to an intellegent serial 
card, the card is memory mapped. The download code is kept as an array of
unsigned char's and typically has a size of ~8.1K. A few days ago I upgraded 
the download code and consequently increased the size of the array to ~8.4K. 
The net result is that the minute the new download code is referenced (ie an 
attempt is made to write it to the card) go32 starts swapping like crazy and 
eventually gives up with the error message "Fatal! disk full writing to swap". 
Should I split the array into page sized chunks? Should I upgrade to 111?
Or, should I just give up and become a monk?

	Thanks for any help you can offer, 

		Lawrence Seddon
