Nothing special, except that it is *free*.

I don't think that qualifies as ``a bug''.  Just wait and see what the v2 
FAQ has to tell about other DPMI servers.  Some of them won't let you 
allocate more than half the available memory; some even don't support 
virtual memory at all (and people actually pay money to buy them!).  In 
almost 2 years of v2 beta-testing, CWSDPMI has proven itself remarkably 
stable and dependable.
