A rather special bug?

[Stephan Brauss <sbrauss@optronic.ch>]

Hello!

I think that I have found a bug that is present at least in dosemu-1.0.2.
Compile the appended program, run it and press any key while
the memory testing loop is running. You will see that one byte of the
allocated memory blocks is altered and now contains the ascii code of 
the pressed character. Can someone reproduce this problem? Is it fixed
in newer dosemu versions?

int main()

	int i,j,k;

	for(i=0;i<SEGMENTS;i++)
	{
		printf("malloc segment %d\n",i+1);
		segments[i]=(int *)malloc(SIZE);
		if(segments[i]==NULL)
		{
			printf("malloc error\n");
			exit(1);

	return 0;
