(Get the code!)
Oh! I should have clarified. I am not using the X windows mode of dosemu, I am running it in a text mode terminal. When you run in a terminal, it is not supposed to allocate the VGA graphics areas (leaving them available for $_dosmem)
That is consistent with the behavior of real DOS. If you boot with a monochrome card (no VGA) you have access to more memory, or if you used the correct emm386 options you could disable your VGA card's graphics modes and get access to that memory.
