I rolled back to 1.2.0.0 since I didn't seem to be having the problem with that version, but now it's doing the same thing.

So it is not a dosemu problem, right? What kernel are you using? I think I can reproduce your problem on 2.6 kernels now, except that in my case the presense of dosdebug changes nothing.

Any ideas? And how should I tailor the debug to provide a useful (and reasonably sized) file for someone to look at?

Please do a -D9+r log. If that indeed is the same problem that I have, you will get a fix.

I suspect not.

Am using 2.6.6-rc3-mm2, but as you imply, it certainly has been behaving in this way for most if not all of the 2.6 kernels.

And that may actually be a poor observation on my part. I've noticed since reporting this that it happens sometimes and sometimes not, with no pattern yet discernible to me. I did start it with dosdebug a number of times and it never exhibited the behavior, but I may not have done so enough.

Ok. Thx for guiding me on the debug options. There's just so many options and so much output, when I don't see a clear connection, it's rather hard to guess.

Will be within a few hours, I hope.

thx,
