I don't understand how does that happen.  According to the code of
load_dpmi in stub.asm, it should try all the directories in PATH, and
if that fails (as in your case) try CWSDPMI.EXE with no leading
directories, i.e. from the current working directory.  Only if that
fails (meaning there's no CWSDPMI anywhere), will it go to the other
environment variables.

But in your case, it does find CWSDPMI on its last attempt, so it
should do a RET before going to other environment variables.  What am
I missing?
