So it's not the Windows version.

Yep.

Yes, definitely.  CWSDPMI is not used when you run from Windows, so you 
can install it without any problems to  you.

Actually, I meant to run these programs from the DOS shell, not from Bash. 
I wanted to see whether just reading keyboard input freezes the system.  I
guess the answer is NO. 

Btw, how do you launch Bash?  Do you open a DOS box, and then type
"bash [Enter]" from the DOS prompt?  If not, please try running Bash
that way and see if it helps.  You could also invoke COMMAND.COM from 
Bash, and try running DJGPP programs from there and see if that helps.

Also, what does go32-v2 print when you run it in the same DOS box where 
you run Bash?

Another thing to check: if your system loads programs at startup, close 
all of them and then run Bash.

I don't think there is such a version available anywhere.

If none of the above gives a clue, please post your configuration files 
(CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and the output of the command "set" at the 
DOS/Bash prompt).
