I suggest to begin by running go32-v2 with no arguments, and tell us what 
it prints.  The sum of the two numbers it prints is the amount of 
available virtual memory DJGPP programs have in your setup.

If the numbers seem too small, or you still cannot figure out why 
doesn't your program get all the memory it needs, please read chapter 15 
of the DJGPP FAQ list, and see if that helps you understand the issues 
involved.

And please don't curse here.
