I've never used KA9Q other than in an OS/2 DOS box (OS/2 2.11 in my case).

Low memory and/or environment space are very unlikely; OS/2 lets you
do some very nifty things where memory is concerned (for example, I have
1,003,248 bytes free in this DOS box before starting DIS, split into
748,224 bytes of conventional memory and 255024 bytes of upper memory.
(There's probably some HMA free too, I haven't checked)).

John, if you want some memory-config hints feel free to mail me.

The session priority might be the cause; however I don't know how V3+'s
SESSION_PRIORITY property works (as I'm only running 2.11). I personally
use SP and SPDOS (available on hobbes) to set the priority of the DOS
session to 41F (i.e. foreground server, maximum delta) and I've noted
few problems.

Are you running SIO? If not, get it; the default COM.SYS drivers are a
load of foetid steaming dingo's kidneys.

The direction I've taken this thread in has made it off-topic, followups
redirected to demon.ip.support.os2.
