I would bet that this is because your program is already terminated, and thus 
no longer available through gemdos. The code may still be in memory until you 
run another program, but it is not the "current" program anymore.

Yes i noticed that already when adding support for a.out. For the data and bss 
segments, the end addresses are set to last address - 1 (maybe to catch cases 
when these sections are empty?)
