I noticed this in one of my crashes:

I see that DS has a limit of 5fff ffff which is basically 1.5 GB.

But I thought without OBJ_ANY I got 512 MiB max, and
with OBJ_ANY I could potentially access 4 GiB.

So where is that limit coming from?

Is there some flag in the LX executable I need to
set, as well as using OBJ_ANY?

BTW, I suspect I can implement PDPCLIB for OS/2
the same way I did for MVS, which is use OBJ_ANY
for any application request via malloc(), but for
any internal use, ie fopen buffers to be transferred
to DosRead/DosWrite I would do a different malloc
that doesn't have OBJ_ANY.

So user applications become effectively unrestricted,
without any odd functions like SafeDosOpen.

BFN. Paul.
