DJGPP programs use virtual memory when they run out of
physical memory.
I assume that your program is doing a voluntary exit
because a function you wrote decided there is not enough memory to continue.

If so, it depends how you got the available memory.

If you use go32 to report the number of free physical pages,
then be aware that this value is not guaranteed to be correct under
all DPMI servers, and windows might be reporting -4096k to your function.
