Actually, the problem he showed was a CWSDPMI BUG which doesn't check for
those sorts of things at all.  I think it's fixed in r3wip, but I need to
some extensive tests before releasing it, since it has lots of changes.

I also have a copy of pmode 1.1 to test at the same time; they will 
probably get released when I finish testing.

I have tested the stub in low/no memory environments and it seems to do OK.
