dosemu in all other versions than this crashes straight away when running a dos program; here it crashes randomly

[Alain Jousten]

dosemu used to work wonderfully in 16.04. After upgrading, I am facing major problems. Either the terminal window crashes as soon as i start my dos program (with the previous livery of dosemu, with the new dosemu 1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-2build1); or it crashes randomly (dosemu 1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-2 in amd64 ). Is there any solution as I am running an important legacy software on this?

is there alternatively a way to downgrade to 16.04 again??

it is true. I have exactly the same problem. I have to use the old
dosemu versions that work wonderfull under ubuntu 18.04. For exemple
dosemu_1.4.0+svn.2080-1_amd64.deb I have already pointed it out. But
that has not been corrected. Very sincerely Patrice Lemonnier
