1) It seems you do some invalid manipulations with pointers to variables.
It is extremely unlikely you found a bug in Borland pascal.
You have to carefully debug your code and not to loose time when blaming FreeDOS or BP.

2) In protected mode under BP you of course have more heap space. However you are still limited in size of variable (can't excess 64KB), in global variables on stack (max 64KB) and local stacks (valid inside only one unit)
