Hello Mr. McMackins, hello Mr. Viste,
I found the bad code. While your example works, if I change it to use
calloc (which is what my code is using at the particular failure point),
then it fails. Looks like calloc is doing something funny.
Actually, I just found that both malloc( ) and

Sure. Either use XMS/EMS, or rely on the "huge model" kludge.

Hello Mr. McMackins,
Is there a way to allocate a buffer in OpenWatcom that is larger than
64k? I'm currently trying to stay within the compact memory model, but
even if I compile for huge memory model, I'm getting an out of memory
error for trying to allocate about 80k for a buffer. My machine
Perhaps I should clarify that by "buffer" I just mean some space on the
heap allocated via malloc()

I think for now I will include just the source patches for Binutils and
GCC --- but I will include the full sources for those too, if Mr. Hall
needs/wants me to. (I figure that one should have little problem anyway
