No I wasn't right ;) As Eli pointed out, EMM386 isn't a DMPI server.
However, it is playing around with your memory, faking EMS, etc, which
might be confusing CWSDPMI.

SmartDrive doesn't need EMM386.EXE; it just needs HIMEM.SYS, which in
my experience doesn't affect DJGPP program performance. Depending upon
your system's RAM size, you might benefit from using a RAM disk and
setting this to be gcc's temporary directory. This is all explained in
the FAQ, along with other performance issues.
