But disabling paging to prevent the bug from triggering a PF is cca as smart as neglecting the existence of a bug and banning the reporting person to prevent further posts pointing to this bug

Not for me. The Win32 executable works (compiled by Matt ?), yours doesn't.

Known issue. Probably easy to fix, but I'm not a C expert

You should fix the page fault rather than shooting around with covered eyes in the hope to shoot the SSE2/CR4 issue

I had thought XP/Vi$ta would contain and attract worms, not DOS

You should remove the CR4 code (since HDPMI32 cares), remove the V86 "code" (there is no "V86" in PM DPMI code) and fix the SSE-unrelated bugs. Maybe you introduced them, maybe they origin from Matt but he has the luck that they don't generate symptoms on Win32

PS: definitely NOT a JEMM386 issue

PPSS: PAQ9 is out
