It appears that you must have at least a 5Mb swap file for Windows to be
happy allocating this much memory.  If you have LOTS of free RAM this may
not be necessary, but right now I would say 5Mb swap is the MINIMUM 
requirement to run DJGPP apps, and 6Mb to 8Mb a much better idea.  Another
item for the FAQ I guess.  If this is too much, don't run under Windows.
