And from further reading I see you are using dos6.22.
If you happened to be using the supplied freedos I would suspect that...

You have been fairly thorough, thanks.
The best solution I can think of is to take dosdebug, or a native
dos debugger and find where the code is actually hanging.

And that should be the same under dosemu as we don't emulate that.
