Hi,

Version 0.98.8 or 0.99.10 or 0.99.13(!)

Launch with "dos -A", default dosemu.conf

Boot floopy is MSDOS6.2 OR MSDOS5 or even MSDOS 7.0 from Win 95 and doing
"sys a:"

dosemu displays "Starting MSDOS" then hangs for _ages_.

strace reveals process "dos" is here:
  vm86(0x1, 0x8115780, 0, 0xfffafff1, 0x2  <--- hanging

On a previous run, with the same problems, strace showed _enormous_
amounts of repeated vm86(0x1, ....) over and over.

Kernel is 2.2.5. System is essentially RH5.9

I'm sure someone else has come across this bug of hanging/repeated vm86
calls when trying to boot from a standard MS-DOS floppy. Anyone care to
volunteer the fix? :-/

Cheers!
Chris

PS. I thought vm86 only took 2 args, have I also found a bug in strace?
