If your conclusion is that CWSDPMI is responsible for the crashes, I would
suggest to look into this a bit more.  CWSDPMI is much less tolerant to
certain violations of DPMI rules than most other DPMI hosts, so it
sometimes aborts your program when other hosts let it get away.  But that
doesn't mean CWSDPMI is the culprit, it might mean that there is a subtle
bug in your program, and CWSDPMI makes you a service by exposing that bug. 

If you do think that CWSDPMI has a bug, I suggest to write to Charles 
Sandmann <sandmann AT clio DOT rice DOT edu> and tell him about the problem (please 
also include the crash traceback with your message).  Charles will 
probably be able to give you some hints about what might be the reason.
