I am working on a very large applications for OS/2 that
commonly will try and uses >100MB of RAM if the operating
system will give it.  I am seeing a problem where the 
disk with the swap file for the system fills up and the
whole system dies before I receive errors when committing
memory.  Generally the error occurs when I try to touch
the memory (i.e. zero out the memory).  Does anyone know
of a way to query how much physical memory/swap space is
still available?  The only calls I have seen will only return
a theoretical address space available?

Thanks,
  Dave
