  I load the DPMI host (either CWSDPMI, or DRDOS EMM386 v7.03) before starting
GEM.

  The machine locks solid. No messages appear.

  The time of the lockup is a bit different, depending which DPMI host I'm 
using. Using CWSDPMI, the lockup happens shortly after the second program 
starts (I suspect that it's when the second program reads its message queue, 
and GEM blocks it). 
  Using DRDOS EMM386, the second program runs, but if I try to activate the 
first program, nothing happens. Then, when the second program terminates,
the machine locks.
