Is it a program that you wrote, or one of the programs distributed as
part of DJGPP?

If the latter, please supply the details (the name of the program, how
does it crash, the registers' and stack dump printed when it crashes,
etc.)

This is the usual behavior of NT: it lies about how much DPMI memory
is available.  Don't worry about it, most probably, it has nothing to
do with your problems.

Also expected.  You cannot use CWSDPMI on NT (or any other kind of
Windows, for that matter), since they have their own DPMI server built
into them.

I think memory is NOT your problem.  Please post more details about
the crashes, as requested above.
