This is a known problem in both debug32 and go32.  Csaba posted a patch for
this back in December.  I have a patched version with this fix, the 
event keyboard fix, system()/paging fix, floating errors fix, and DPMI support 
in the testing stages (all merged into a single 56Kb GO32.EXE).  Nested
DPMI applications through system() currently don't work, and it will take
a major rewrite of some code to get it working (next release probably).
Thus, you would have to use GCC16 to compile under Windows or OS/2 DOS box.
Further information and a posting will come when its had a bit of testing.
