Package: dosbox
Version: 0.72-1.1
Severity: normal
Question: is it possible that a program B which has exitted still has an impact
on the behaviour of a program P run afterwards (supposing that the program B
has not written anything to disk impacting P)? Shouldn't the program B be
completely out of memory after crashing? I guess it is not possible in normal
Dos, hence I suspect some DosBox bug (hence my bug report)...
A have a Dos program B (for Broken) which does not work i.e., it quits with some
error message when launched (this is not DosBox' fault, I
guess, and I'm not complaining about that).
But I also have a Dos program P which works, i.e., it behaves as
intended when I begin a new DosBox session and immediately launch the
program P.
The problem I suspect DosBox of is the following: if I first launch B (which
crashes as expected), and launch P afterwards, then P also crashes with some
error message.
B does not write anything to the disk before crashing, AFAI can tell (as
after launching a new DosBox session, mounting the same part of the
disk, I am able to launch P if I don't launch B before).
Both programs come from the Wing Commander Privateer game (the 1993 version), I
can explain how to reproduce the problem if needed.
