	I need to allocate at least three segments (~180k) of type
int to global memory.  This I have done using

	int huge *lpGlobalMemory;
	.
	hGlobalMemory = GlobalAlloc (GMEM_MOVEABLE, ~180k);

as suggested in Petzold.
	This works fine only as long as I use 64k or less of the space!
If I enter > 64k of data the system crashes with a runtime error.
Has anyone had any similar experiences?  Any suggestions that might help
me through this painfull adolescence in my Windows memory management
experience?

Thank-you!
