This could be caused by the program attempting to use DPMI
(in which case you need to have a line like
$_dpmi = (4096) # or some other size in kilobytes, depending on how much
# memory the program needs
in your /etc/dosemu.conf file, not $_dpmi = (off).
If you do this (or even if you don't), it is better to run dosemu under
X as an ordinary user, rather than on the console as root.
Alternatively it could be caused by the program attempting to switch
to protected mode via some other means, such as VCPI (see the file
EMUfailure.txt) in which case it will never work under dosemu.
