That's not true (at least not default x86/Win32 version), but who knows what bugs your port may have. Or maybe you're (accidentally?) using an old, buggy version of CWSDPMI? For instance, Quake 1 had CWSDPMI r1 (both from 1996), which is horribly obsolete. Latest stable is r7 (2010) from %DJGPP_MIRROR%/current/v2misc/ (e.g. here).

I don't know what to suggest for further testing, maybe the demo of Hexen 2 (13 MB download, includes CWSDPMI). Of course, that too is loosely Quake-based.
