How did you get this estimate? As far as I can see the WITHLFNAPI part of
inthndlr.c is about 150 bytes; lfnapi.c takes up 1K. And the rest was
going to go into a TSR. But then we haven't heard from Victor for a long
time...

I still have two different segments in the map file, just one group :)

hma_alloc isn't a problem at all. Since the resident kernel is only moved
to the hma after all device drivers are loaded.
