I ran out of environment space several times with 512 bytes running DOS Internet
programs.  Upping to 2048 fixed it.  I see DJGPP specifies a minimum of 2048
bytes.  I see DJGPP also specifies, for CONFIG.SYS,

shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /e:2048 /p
files=40
fcbs=40,0
 
I wonder what the fcbs are for, thought FCBs were outdated beginning with 
MS-DOS 2.

But when I ran out of environment space at 512 bytes, that was without anything 
for DJGPP.
