?! Who says about "allocating/deallocating/resizing"?! _I_ say that
2035 contains bugs, related to allocating UMB and making MCBs chain.
One bug I prove and fix (I mean, join of A000 segment to base memory by
(Q/MS)EMM386 driver), other bugs I suspect and wish to prove (that I already
fix them also) - for example, as I understand, latest FD-EMM386 translates
starting I= area address A000 to A001 because there is bug in (current) FD.
Isn't it?
