Well, it is strange, I do not understand what is wrong in your system.
Blocek hooks one or two interrupts so it can be prone for crashes but Kasmar not.
It could be some incompatibility between your environment and my used DPMI server CWSDPMI. I do not use the very official build but some tweaked version.
Try to use the CWSDPMI.EXE from some other application.
Or use some alternate DPMI server like HDPMI32.
You also could post here your configuration. To do that, please run my other program called MySysInf
You can reroute the program output to disk file.
