Comment 12 for bug 52857

dosemu seems to work on Intrepid; the dosemu-freedos has been rolled into it, and it pops up a DOS prompt without issue so far as I can tell if I execute "dosemu". (dosemu 1.4.0+svn.1828-2ubuntu1, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic.) What exactly are you doing on Hardy to trigger the problem? Is anyone still getting the "ERROR: cpu exception in dosemu code outside of VM86()!" error?
