Why gdb-dpmi?  Do you run under a DPMI host (like Windows)?  If not, then 
use gdb instead:

	go32 -d gdb filename input_filename

If you are unsure about the DPMI issue, run go32 with no parameters and 
post what it prints.

Even if you do run under DPMI, if it ain't Windows, you can run go32 in 
non-DPMI mode by putting ``nodpmi'' into your GO32 environment variable 
(under Windows, it won't work).
