I just did some regression testing.
The first regression (the HIMEM.SYS error message):
last revision without: 1928
first revision with: 1929

The second regression (Dosemu crashing when double clicking on the top 
left menu button in Program Manager):
last revision without: 1962
first revision with: 1963

Note, to test for the last regression I had to add /TESTMEM:OFF to get 
HIMEM.SYS to load.
