I have a program that works near-perfect under DOSEmu.  But it will
"hang" when doing two different, distinct operations -- and it starts
eating up CPU time.  It, of course, doesn't hang under "real" DOS, so
it's gotta be some sort of DOSEmu setting.  No file corruption occurs,
DOSEmu just hangs before it corrupts anything (thank God).  For the most
part, this setup is working _better_ than I anticipated (long story),
and it is _far_more_reliable_ to run it under multiple DOSEmu instances
on a single machine, than to SMB share out to Windows systems (yes, even
with Oplocks disabled, again, long story).  [ BTW, the lock happens even
when there is only one instance running -- whenever I try to do those 2
specific things. ]

Questions:

1.  I'm having a bit of difficulty trying to figure out how to enable
debugging.  I've done a bit of RTFM, but I can't figure it out (yeah,
bad excuse ;-).  Anyone got a 1-to-2 "liner" on a typical set of
settings to use to dump out everything?

2.  I'm suspecting it is a file access issue.  I'm "booting" a directory
where it runs io.sys directly, etc..., so ledir and VFS is used.  I've
tried using both a EXT2 and MSDOS (not VFAT) mounted as
/var/lib/dosemu/drdos703 (or msdos622) directory (which are my boot
directories, depending on which one I'm running), which makes no
difference.  I understand you can also "boot" a non-mounted,
"native/real" C: partition too.  If so, can I run multiple instances of
DOSEmu, or am I limited to only 1 now since I'm booting a real
partition?

Thanx ... sorry for the "generic" stuff here, but I'll post more info
when I get some hard debugging info.
