First off, is getdfree really broken when run against large FAT32
drives?  I can't get it to report more than 2Gb for any drive.

I wrote a function that calls the Win9x FAT32 extended-free-space
function (int 0x21, func 0x7303).  It works, but I've found that it
can be made to fail by making unrelated changes in the calling
function (in this case, main).

My first test program used doubles to calculate and display the total
space/free space reported by my getdfree function.  When I changed
main to use 'long long' instead of 'double', my getdfree function
stopped working -- __dpmi_int succeeds, but the returned cflag
indicates an error, and AX contains an invalid error code.

I don't understand what's happening.  I found an article indicating
that long long isn't well-supported by djgpp's COFF output, but I
don't pretend to really understand what that means, either.

Anyway, I'm posting my program below.  If anyone can point out where I
went wrong, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
-Scott
