UseNet comes through once again! The white knight in this case was Lee
Fisher from Microsoft. Thanks, Lee!

As written up in the April 1988 edition of PC Tech Journal (p. 161), the
new max-file-handle-count function (Int 21/AH=67h) will not work correctly
under PC-DOS 3.3 unless you use an ODD number of handles, or unless you
restore the number to 20. Silly bug, easy work-around! I love it.
