It could be.

However, the DEVICE= line works correctly for MS-DOS (v7.10).  To
me, that implies that FreeDOS is doing something different.  It
could be that difference is triggering a bug in HIMEMX too, e.g.,
perhaps they have an off-by-one error passing command line, or etc
speculation ...  Even if HIMEMX has a bug, I'd probably declare
that difference in FreeDOS to be a bug also.  If there was no
difference or bug in FreeDOS versus MS-DOS, then I'd think that a
bug in HIMEMX couldn't be triggered.  True?
