What *I* have noticed is that the system fills up with invisible CWSDPMI
swap files. I've also been using DJGPP economy-class (a 386SX, 2MB RAM,
if that isn't famine-level yet -- 8) and apparently if you abort the
compile, CWSDPMI fails to erase its trash. Anyway, they're in the root
directory so you can erase them easily enough.
