2008-11-12 16:44:13 James Paige description Binary package hint: dosemu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 Package version: dosemu 1.4.0+svn.1828-1 Dosemu has an option that controls available real-mode memory. Edit /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf and you will find: # $_dosmem = (640) Uncomment this line, and slightly increase the number. 768 is the highest valid value, but 641 is sufficient to trigger this crash. Run dosemu, and it will crash immediately with no error message. This error does not occur when I downgrade to the older 1.2.2-9 packages. In my own configuration I use $_dosmem = (704) and it works perfectly in the older version. I have already worked around the LOWRAM mmap segmentation fault reported in bug 216398 Binary package hint: dosemu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 Package version: dosemu 1.4.0+svn.1828-1 Dosemu has an option that controls available real-mode memory.
