Bug#327153: dosemu: fails to start

[Sean Proctor <sproctor@gmail.com>]

Package: dosemu
Version: 1.2.1-3.1
Severity: important

I installed dosemu and dosemu-freedos, but neither dosemu nor xdosemu
will start. dosemu leaves no info on the terminal, xdosemu says this:

ERROR: cpu exception in dosemu code outside of VM86()!
trapno: 0x0e  errorcode: 0x00000005  cr2: 0xffffff8e
eip: 0x000069ee  esp: 0xbfefffcc  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!

Thanks,
Sean
