How long are we given to find a bug in your proof?

Thank you very much; together with heapfix, that seems to have done
it.

Interestingly, that didn't: I tried under Windows/NT (I know that's
not *quite* like Windows), and discovered that, while NT gives me
DPMI, go32-v2 tells me that I only get 56MB RAM and 0MB of swap.
Thus, there are files I can now compile under DOS/CWSDPMI that I can't
compile under NT.  Does anyone have any clues on how to deal with
this?  It would be nice to be able to compile DJGPP programs in the
background on NT, so I can get other work done.
