An excerpt(sp?) from the faq on oak.oakland:

Q: Go32 complains that the CPU must be in V86 mode to run.
A: When the CPU is in V86 mode, the V86 manager must provide VCPI
   services for go32.  Since VCPI is an extension to EMS, disabling EMS
   will disable VCPI, and prevent go32 from running.  For some EMS
   managers, this means that you can't use the "noems" switch. 

Well, there ya go.
