Even if it could, this is not recommended, since it means that you cannot
have virtual memory in every other DJGPP program that you invoke from
that BASH. I think that if PMODE is already active, DJGPP programs
invoked from BASH will not load CWSDPMI, but use PMODE as the DPMI host,
and it doesn't support VM.
