The error line says that your program is using Rational Systems' DOS/16M 
DOS extender, which is a protected-mode, *16-bit* DOS extender for *286* 
and above computers. It's not a 32-bit flatmode extender (like the more 
famous DOS/4G, also from Rational, which was used to produce Doom2), and so 
has the limitations of DOS, such as no virtual memory, 64K-segment 
limit, and a host of other ills. CWSDPMI doesn't support 16-bit DPMI 
applications, AFAIK. Maybe another DPMI server (eg Windoze) will work, 
although I'm not sure if 16-bit DPMI apps can coexist with 32-bit apps, 
even if the server allows it.

Good luck,
