GO32 has the code in place.  The problem is that GO32 is compiled with the -1
option to generate 186+ instructions.  It should give the correct error message
on a 286, but will not work on a 8088 without a GO32 recompile.

We were just discussing if this even needed to be fixed for V2.0 since noone 
had noticed it :-)   I would guess you think so.
