The stub notices that 32-bit DPMI is not available, tries to load CWSDPMI,
which does the processor type test, then issues a message if the machine
doesn't have enough bits ...  Then the stub fails with a No DPMI message.
Both CWSDPMI and the stub are 8088 clean (well, they have been at times,
who knows this week) up to the 80386  processor test.

I haven't checked PMODE to see if it's 8088 clean or how it behaves on
an XT.  When you mess up and get a 186+ instruction in the code it just
hangs on an XT...
