Neither. In v2, the amount of swap space is what the DPMI server
reports, so it depends of the settings of the DPMI host (Windows in your
case). I don't know what does Win95 do when it only has that few free
disk space, but I doubt it'd do something too smart. In v1, the swap
space, even in DPMI mode, was managed by go32 itself.
What go32-v2 reports, is consistent with what Win95 users say (and the
FAQ repeats after them): Win95 won't let you allocate more than half of
the available memory (1.8MB is half of 3.5MB).

I doubt if it should, with that low amount of disk space.
