OS/2 2.x allows you to decide how much memory (through EMS, XMS, or
DPMI) can be allocated by programs which are run inside any given DOS
box -- this allows you to prevent programs from allocating absurd
amounts of memory if they are buggy, etc.

Choose the "Settings" notebook for the WPS object you use to start a DOS
box and modify the numbers in the DPMI DOS setting.
