Subject:	DVX 2.0 beta Pre-release 1, QDPMI 7.04beta

I have been testing DV/X 2.0 beta and Ghostscript 2.9.2 beta recently.
When I set Protection level to 3 in the PIF for the DOS window I was
running GS from, I get access violations from QDPMI.  In particular, I
needed to turn off DPMI to get certain things to work, and when I ran
"QDPMI off" from that window (first thing I did after starting another
DOS window, backdrop, clock and demacs), I got access violations
because QDPMI tried to store into B000:00B5, B000:0054, and again into
B000:0054.  After that everything was fine.
    I get a similar violation from GO32 1.11.maint2 (the DOS extender
for the DJGPP port of GNU C/C++).  All GO32 programs produce two
successive violations at B000:0000, then run fine.
    This does not occur if (a) QDPMI is not loaded or (b) QDPMI has
been turned OFF.  (That's not surprising but I like to be precise.)
    You can get my system specs from my previous (to date
unacknowledged) reports.
