In the message I received from fine AT main1 DOT jinr DOT dubna DOT SU, there was the 
following program, named go32chk.c,

#include <stdio.h>
char a[24576]={1};
void main()
{       
    printf ("1: a[12288]= %d\n",a[12288]);
    a[12288]=-1;
    printf ("2: a[12288]= %d\n",a[12288]);
 
    system("echo child process");
 
    printf ("   a[8192]= %d\n",a[8192]);
    printf ("3: a[12288]= %d\n",a[12288]);
}

With the original go32 1.09 on my machine, the result was a[12288]= 0 (of
course it should be -1) after system() call.  The paging.c patch corrected
this.  So, I believe, though paging.c patch isn't good for 1.09, go32 1.09
NEEDS some patch anyway! 

And, I found a new fact on system() error.  Find out my another message.

Thanks.
