The problem is with the VDPMI.SYS file as shipped with GA. You need to get
the latest version of this file. You should be able to get this from
software.watson.ibm.com in the directory /pub/os2 and the file vdpmi.zip.

I had similar problems and also could not get zdb working the new vdpmi.sys
will cure your ills.
