DJGPP does not do its own VM, it uses DPMI services from any available 
DPMI host.  Windows and QDPMI are two such and DJGPP supplies a free DPMI 
host called CWSDPMI which it will load into memory at execution time if 
no other DPMI server responds to its queries (CWSDPMI can be made memory 
resident also).  CWSDPMI supports up to 256MB of physical memory plus up 
to 256MB of swap (limited by free disk space, the swap file is 
dynamically allocated) for a 512MB VM address space.  Other DPMI servers 
have their own limits (I believe that Windows is limited to 64MB of VM 
for example). 

Have you read the appropriate FAQ and Info entries on this subject?  
After doing so let the list/newsgroup know what else we can tell you.
