Hmm, interesting.  I just put it up on 3 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 machines
with the Microsucks TCP/IP-32 stack to try out and all seems well.  The GPF
fault is resolved and the installs went without problem.  (Although I really
don't like having to go in and copy the dsm.opt file back to be the nodes
actual dsm.opt file, I'd prefer the choice of "A dsm.opt file already exists,
would you like to leave it completely alone?" rather than copy the current
dsm.opt file to an .bak file.)
