[Simh] Win98SE memory management problem

[Brian Knittel]

FYI as of July 11 2006 Microsoft will officially drop all support for 
Windows 98 and Me. In particular, critical security fixes will not be 
generated for whatever bugs that are discovered after that date.

End of Support for Windows 98 and Windows ME 

It's about time that ME was retired, preferably to an unmarked grave 
somewhere desolate.
