I'm always amazed how decisions I make 3-4 years ago lay dormant and then
strike when I least expect...  Actually not handling the protected mode
interrupt 0x19 is a feature of CWSDPMI (Feature: Documented bug or design
decision...).  The DPMI spec says this should be passed through - but I
caught it and printed a message just in case you made a mistake and didn't
want the computer rebooted.

So ... it probably ought to be fixed in CWSDPMI since W95 behaves with the
protected mode version but behaves badly with the dpmi_int method.
