I'm having problems with the __dpmi_set_segment_limit in DJGPP.  I can't
seem to set the segment limit much greater than 240,000 bytes.  I thought
that in protected mode you could set segment limits to 4 gigabytes (If I
look at the other segments they are all set to this value).  Could someone
please tell me why I cannot set the segment limit to a higher value than
this?

Thanx

Jx
