Are you sure this fix is for the above problem?  AFAIK, the most
frequent problem on W2K is that invoking subsidiary DJGPP programs
(like when Make or RHIDE invoke the compiler) causes a crash inside
NTVDM.  I doubt that your patch will fix that.

Also, IIRC the problem you were trying to fix can only happen when the
Unixy sbrk algortithm is used, while the default for DJGPP programs is
not to use the Unixy sbrk.
