I have cleaned up some tests and placed them here:

http://www.jado.org/users/bukinm/trace/index.html

If there are problems with compiling files with Borland C, I can place
sample log files somewhere.

These tests also can show problem with bash.  bash is deallocating LDT
descriptors several times.

To Martin: if you don't test that descriptor was deallocated already,
then you can place second copy of selector to the list of free
descriptors and then return two selectors pointing to one descriptor,
pretending that they are pointing to different descriptors.  That
might give you problems too.

Sorry, this information is also incorrect.  It is allocating 0x29
paragraphs in stub.asm.  It allocates private data for DPMI host.
