After a little testing and huge conversation with Eli Zaretskii,
it was found, that vim has a bug with using NULL pointer. When
every mentioning of DPMI in CONFIG.SYS (be aware, that MULTI in
EMM386.EXE line means DPMI too) and AUTOEXEC.BAT, replacing 
NWCACHE by SMARTDRV, and using CPWSDPMI -x -p (all this before
calling TASKMGR, of course), makes vim working even in TASKMGR.

I shall immediately write to comp.editors about it.

	Thanks, Eli!

We are told that [St. Anthony] once fell into dejection, finding
uninterrupted contemplation above his strength; but was taught to
apply himself at intervals to manual labour by a vision of an
angel who appeared platting mats of palm-tree leaves, then rising
to pray, and after some time sitting down again to work; and who
at length said to him, "Do thus, and thou shalt be saved."
