DOS ain't dead - real mode memory management question

real mode memory management question (Developers)

Memory requested by malloc and later freed by free won't be given back to DOS instant and therefore you are out of ram pretty fast because the memory becomes only available again after the exe terminated?

Can I somehow force to flush the memory to the operating system so I can request it again for other tasks?
