So, it sounds like it's not going to get fixed anytime real soon.  And
the extended memory + low memory overhead are outrageous for QDPMI.

Question for you guys:  What are the reasons for not just disabling 
QDPMI outright?  I use it for testing purposes, but actually use the
free DPMI for day to day V2 development anymore.  Sure, the free dpmi
has some limitations currently, but most bugs I encounter are in QDPMI.
Please send me the "must have" features to be able to replace QDPMI.
Thanks.
