Didn't have troubles with crashing, but never heard of dos32a before,

The crash usually happens if you press the key in the game intro to skip it. If you use mouse to skip it, then no crash. Does it work the same way for you? That assumes you are using dos4gw 1.8, which is what my Syndicate Wars have. With dos4gw 1.97 it works better (the real problem is not in dosemu and not even in dos4gw actually).

thanks! However, Syndicate Wars is still running too fast

Sorry, the bug appeared to have been fixed 3 days after 1.3.1 was released :( For some very strange reasons I thought the fix is in 1.3.1, but it appears not.
Can you please try the CVS code? It is a bit unstable at a moment, but should work OK for Syndicate. Otherwise you can try 1.2.1. Not that I can reproduce your speed problem under 1.2.2, but trying the fixed version still worthy before anything else.
What CPU do you have?

My Syndicate Wars came with dos4gw 1.97, and pressing a key in the intro doesn't crash anything. dos32a works nicely too.

Syndicate Wars under the latest CVS version is still too fast to be playable - no change from 1.2.1 nor 1.3.1
