Confirmed CWSDPMI bug (and mostly fixed in work-in-progress).  Workaround:
do a "CWSDPMI -p" before starting development - this will load the TSR
permanently (instead of in a transient, reload each time) fashion.  While
you may lose around 50K of DOS memory, programs should load a tad faster
and you avoid the bug.  If you have 50K free in a UMB, load it high.
