On a default FreeDOS 1.3 installation, are the autodetected UMBs that
JEMM386 uses safe?

In my experience, some segments that JEMM386 uses by default are
problematic, namely EE00-EFFF.

I've had problems using that segment with JEMM386, HiRAM, UMBPCI. Sometimes
the system doesn't reboot properly with a soft reset, sometimes programs
crash, and sometimes the VM crashes.

I'm not 100% sure about C800-CBFF. MSD detects C800-C899 as "possibly
available", same as EE00-EFFF.

According to my tests, a safe area is CC00-DFFF and E400-EDFF.

I'll experiment further with JEMM386 and JEMMEX but I wanted to know what
is the consensus.

I'm using VirtualBox (v6.1.34 r150636) and FreeDOS 1.3 with default "full"
install.
