you need to compile in large model.  the default model for '286 systems
is small.  may programs won't fit in small model, so they must be compiled
for large model.

rpp386 is a '386 system.  small model for it is 32 bits with 4GB segments
so i don't have those problems.  the CFLAGS in many makefiles will have
to be adjusted to include -M2l for 286 large model compilation.

month has been banged on and the makefile has been corrected to include
the needed options.  you can pick up the current copy, or add -Ml2 to
the CFLAGS line in the Makefile.
