Thanks for the clarification.

Does the above include the DPMI calls that create selectors, like 
allocate DOS memory, segment-to-descriptor, etc., when they are issued by
a nested program?  In other words, if a nested program allocates a 
selector with one of these calls and doesn't explicitly free it before 
exiting, will it only be freed when the parent application exits?
