When I call _go32_remaining_physical_memory (sp?) it coughs up a number
like 32645876...and mine is an 8 meg system! Is this wishful thinking on
the part of the compiler? =)

(btw, this call occurs AFTER I have loaded a meg or so of data into
mallocked memory too.)

_go32_remaining_virtual_memory returns a number around 120 million, as
expected.
