Thank you for the detailed description of the problem.
However, I still don't see how you can rule out the other
possibilities that I mentioned, namely, the setup of DJGPP/RHIDE and
bugs in either RHIDE or the library. These problems may be subtle
enough to only raise their ugly head when you use the Caldera DPMI
server.
So I would still recommend to produce a small test program that shows
the problem with redirection of the standard streams, and then run
that program under a debugger to see what exactly fails there when you
use the TaskManager.

This is expected: since CWSDPMI is loaded by every task, there are two
or more copies of CWSDPMI trying to use the same swap file in the
read-write mode, which will certainly fail in interesting ways...
