Trieste, August 18th 1993

I just tested the pagetest.c example whic comes with djgpp. My command line 
was:

go32 a.out 21000

My machine is a 486-33 running DR-DOS 6.0 and go32 1.10a. I have 4 MB of 
RAM
and the swap disk (c:) has ~20 MB free. When it reached the end of the 
initialization
part the program crashed filling the screen with flashing color characters 
and the
machine cold booted. Someone suggested that problem comes from the ISA bus
which wraps around when it reaches 16 MB (4 MB RAM + 16 MB swap =  20 MB
i.e. the point where the program crashed).
Any suggestion?

TIA 

Paolo
