I had sometimes the same problem and found a (but not the
best) solution. I have in my dosemu.conf configured a DPMI
size of 20MB but in most cases when I started dosemu, I had
only 1 or 2 MB DPMI (and sometimes none).
After some tries I found, that dosemu dives you (or at least
me in my config) only DPMI up to your free physical
memory. That means realy the free memory not including
any buffers or cached.

In that cases I did the following trick:

gdb rhide
info functions
q
q

This allocates many memory for gdb and after leaving
gdb I had many real free memory.

But I think this can be done also by a small utility
which allocates a big chunk of memory (using calloc)
and nothing else.


Until know I thought, this was only bad config of
me, but now I see there are also others.
