I am not at all current with dosemu, but you should not have to reboot
your machine to get control. Control-c or at worst switching to another
vt and killing the dos process should be sufficient. If it locks up
your machine, that is a serious bug in dosemu, and you should probably
belabor them with it until they fix it.

Anybody who is clever enough to help you is clever enough to be able to
