This is very probably a DPMI vs non-DPMI issue.  Under DPMI it reads the
image into memory and then closes the handle on the file.  Under non-DPMI
it keeps the handle open while the image is executing so it can demand
page code sections in.  V2 reads the image and then closes the file, so
you shouldn't have a problem.
