This issue has nothing to do with DJGPP per se.  The segment selectors in 
DJGPP are normal protected-mode selectors, and their descriptor format is 
like that of any other PM selector.  The library reference docs describes 
the format of segment selector (under "__dpmi_get_descriptor"); if you 
want further details, one place to look is the Intel's manuals on their 
developer site.
