Yes, this is a problem, and there is no workaround.  The problem is that
DOS4/GW expects some DPMI subtile behavior (built in extension?) which 
CWSDPMI does not support.  I don't know if it's a DOS4/GW bug or CWSDPMI
bug - I could never get anyone to send me a trivial do nothing image which
showed the problem.

You can stick with V1.x, or wait for an alternate free DPMI to be provided,
or buy QEMM/386MAX, or not run DOS4/GW images as child processes.

Not very satisfying, but I don't know what else to suggest, sorry.
