Well ... it might work - and here's how ...
Borland make loads it's own 16-bit dpmi server under DOS.  When the V2 stub
sees this, it tries to load CWSDPMI on top of the other DPMI provider.  If
this is sucessful, the V2 image can run under the Borland make (but only under
DOS, NOT under Win).  I'm not exactly sure why this would cause a floating
error.
