I ran it in W95 dos-box which memory properties are:
Conventional: Auto
Initial Environment: 1024
Expanded: not configured
Exteneded (XMS) 1024 , uses HMA
DPMI: 12288


go32/v2 version 2.0 built Jan 23 1996 22:03:02
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your 
PATH.
DPMI memory available: 11280 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 624 Kb

It seems that only auto-setting for the DPMI & XMS properties cause 
problems. if i use 24mb in DPMI, the output is:

but this hasn't caused problems so far.
