Why does the selector for linear memory have a limit of -1?  Doesn't it 
mean that anybody who uses the usual dosmemput/farpoke things has a 
potential to overwrite any address, i.e. the memory protection is 
disabled?  If so, this is the same as nearptr (except slower), right?

Is there any problem to make the limit be 1MB?
