Argh!  It's a typo in the libc docs, of all things.  That should be
_dosmemgetb (note the leading underscore).  I just checked and all the
_dosmem* functions have incorrect examples in the docs.  Oh, well -
nobody's perfect.  I guess it's time for another bug report.  :)

BTW, you may have noted that while the examples were wrong, the function
prototype listed at the beginning did have the leading underscore.
