A friend reports a segmentation fault after quitting a FoxPro 2.6 application for the second time.
Dosemu: 1.0.2.1

Update your dosemu!

Isn't 1.0.2.1 the latest 'stable' version, whilst 1.1.3 is unstable' ?

Or does FoxPro 2.6 only run under 1.1.3 ?

Yes. But there are quite a few bugs that were fixed in 1.1.3.x. Some code 1.1.3.x is relatively untested and that is the difference.

Maybe even only 1.1.3.4. There were quite some FoxPro related bug fixes recently.

It's basically like this:

if 1.0.2.1 works for you then stick with it.

if it doesn't, well either use 1.1.x and live with its potentially untested code (don't worry, it works for me and others, but no guarantees, for instance there was a buffer overflow in 1.1.3.3 that could cause "random" crashes - hence the warning on dosemu.org), or don't use DOSEMU at all.
