How standard is the sbrk(2) function?  It's on every Unix I've seen,
and appears to be in DJGPP as well, but it's not as far as I can tell 
ANSI.  How much can I rely on it being there, and is using it likely
to mess up malloc etc.?  Does it actually work under DJGPP as it does
in Unix?

How about the mmap(2) function?  That sounds really useful if it works...
