The problem is with GO32 version 1.09. It has some changes in
the interrupt handling/redirection which make it compatible
with DV/X. Unfortunately these changes broke the GRX graphics
library's event (mouse+keyboard) queue mechanism. SUIT works
fine with the 1.08 extender. 

Last week I posted a patch to the 1.09 extender which solves 
the problem in no-EMS situations (XMS or int 15h type extended
memory management). I did not attempt to change the EMS (VCPI)
specific part of the code as I have no means of testing it.
(I don't own DV/X and/or QEMM - and EMM386 locks up my machine
rock solid.) 

A copy of the patched GO32 and DEBUG32 executables can be found:

	sun.soe.clarkson.edu:/submit/cb_go32exe.zip

Again, this patched version will solve the problem for no-EMS
situations, but I don't guarantee that it will work with
EMS (VCPI).

Hope this helps,
