go32-v2 simply calls a DPMI function and prints what that returned.  It 
is entirely up to the DPMI server to return the correct info.  Experience 
shows that unless you run on plain DOS, the first number it prints does
not correlate too well with the free physical RAM.

Also note that go32-v2 does not say "physical memory", it says "DPMI 
memory".  There's a fine difference here.
