To follow up on my own post here ... I commented out the
_go32_dpmi_free_dos_memory call from dosfns.c and w16selec.c
( the only two places in the 'src' and 'lib-src' directories
it exists ), and lo and behold emacs works ( so far ). I
don't know how dangerous this is ... maybe some sort of subtle
memory leak that will eventually kill the process.
