Did you try the /L and /S switches to LOADHIGH? If not, please type
"help loadhigh" from the DOS prompt, read the info and try to play
with these two switches (and with "MEM /F" and "MEM /M CWSDPMI", like
the help tells you). It seems that DOS is foolishly trying to load
CWSDPMI into a region that is too small. Doesn't surprise me a bit,
that's why I always stayed away from DOS's LOADHIGH and used QEMM
instead.

If it's a DOS bug, it surely exists on every other system as well ;-).
But not everybody has their UMBs stuffed like you do.
