Hi, Tom,

Thank you for your suggestion. But I wonder if that 
would be the cause. DJGPP programs get a 256K stack. 
The mismatch in my segment limit is exactly 64K. Also
I am not sure to what extent this would solve the scond
problem which is that __dpmi_get_segment_limit() and 
the call frame traceback do not agree on the segment
limit. In any case I will try that as soon as I get home.

Thanks,
Gurunandan
