A program that I am writing uses dynamic structures of size ~12K, and will
not allow me to allocate memory for more than 3 structures.  I am trying
to compile using a different memory model and having some difficulty.  What
must be done to use a different memory model?  I tried first using the -mc
option on the tcc command line, and I have had all sorts of problems with
the program doing unexpected things.  When you change memory models do you
have to specify the change in pointer types?  (I also tried this changing
all pointers to far pointers and malloc to farmalloc, etc).  Basically, are
there some pitfalls that I have to look out for in changing the default
memory model?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
