You should prove that it doesn't break socalled 'compatible' DOS behave;-)
( We had a lot of kludges for this thing in the past. )
As it is currently, it servs the majority of DOS apps, with the patch
the behave for those apps could change. The midnight flag thing is a
design flaw of IBM (not dosemu) and you never can make happy all involved
parties;-)
As I last checked it, waiting for the role-over at the DOS prompt
doesn't show the bug. Polling the BIOS in the DOS application and
bypassing DOS, however, will lead to problems _due_ to the design flaw.
