Here is an interesting problem that shows itself in 1.1.5
and not in 1.1.4 or earlier versions of dosemu.

Certain programs (e.g., MSD.EXE, Word for Dos version 5.0)
fail with a divide by zero error message at startup.  (The error message
comes from within the dos session - dosemu itself doesn't crash.)
These programs started fine under previous versions of dosemu.
What is strange is that I can avoid these divide by zero errors if I start
and then exit certain other programs (e.g. paradox, edit, /dos/help,
dosshell) before trying to start Word or MSD.

Though I'm not certain, I suspect that when these other programs exit
they are restoring the video mode in some beneficial manner.
