You shouldn't TSR a child program - it will completely confuse DPMI.

The child program is nested; if you TSR it on return to the main program
I'm not sure what would happen.  (We would have confusion on ownership
of PSPs, memory blocks, etc).  

There might be a fix, but maybe not. It would require some experimentation
to see what's breaking - I don't have time right now.  

Can you redesign to TSR the parent?
