The DPMI spec prohibits mixing 16-bit and 32-bit DPMI clients in the
same session, section 6.8 of the DJGPP FAQ explains this.  This means
you cannot invoke 16-bit DPMI programs fromn within a DJGPP program.
The fact that it works with CWSDPMI loaded resident is sheer luck: you
are playing with fire.
