I agree with sixforty - some kind of null pointer protection which is
enabled by default (since Hardy?) spoils dosemu (and maybe wine?)
vm86 mmap handling, but all of the workarounds given for the
bug #216398 indeed fix it :-). Either dosemu should automatically
give the user instructions, for example show the URL of a page
about the workarounds... or Ubuntu could disable that mmap
null pointer protection while dosemu is running or even as soon
as you install dosemu...? I hope we use up to date FreeDOS? :-)


PS: Random unrelated Hardy experiences: Updates exec stuff in /tmp
should use /var/lib/... to allow noexec /tmp. Nvidia 3d drivers can break
suspend or hibernate. Sometimes resume reboots; has i8042 warning.
SSHD default allows all users, incl root, bad. Pulseaudio hogs devices.
