Subject: malloc under DV/X

I use djgpp under Desqview/X.  For the most part, I use it when I need to 
access large arrays.  Thinks work correctly, but I've noticed that malloc
allocates system memory irreversibly; for example, free doesn't seem to return
the memory to the system (DV/X) until the program exits, or if I have a large
local array in a function, this memory is not returned to the system when
the program exits.

Is this correct? If so, can it be overridden?
