Bug#327153: dosemu: fails to start

[Josip Rodin <joy@srce.hr>]

Hi,

I also get a very similar error:

% xdosemu
ERROR: cpu exception in dosemu code outside of VM86()!
trapno: 0x0e  errorcode: 0x00000005  cr2: 0xffffff8e
eip: 0x000069ee  esp: 0xbfb5ffcc  eflags: 0x00010246
cs: 0x0073  ds: 0x007b  es: 0x007b  ss: 0x007b
Page fault: read instruction to linear address: 0xffffff8e
CPU was in user mode
Exception was caused by insufficient privilege
ERROR: leavedos() called from within a signal context!

I worked around the problem by downloading
http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/packages/082pl3/xmsswap.zip
and using command.com from it as /usr/lib/dosemu/commands/comcom.com .
