HIMEM.SYS & Wfw 3.11 problems

Hi,

I'm having a problem with recent Subversion revisions of Dosemu, I get a message from HIMEM.SYS which states: ERROR: HIMEM.SYS has detected unreliable XMS memory at address 00110000h. XMS Driver not installed.

My boot.log:
http://haar.student.utwente.nl/~julius/boot.log

When I disable the memory test and I double click on the top left button in Wfw 3.11's Program Manager, Dosemu crashes with:
ERROR: EMU86: error 2

This is in boot.log:
http://haar.student.utwente.nl/~julius/boot2.log

I guess this is a new bug in Dosemu? Could anyone still solve this? Let me know if I can help with it.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64. (The version included with Ubuntu 9.10 does not have this bug, but it has a problem with higher resolution graphics in Wfw 3.11.)

Regards,
Julius

I don't use HIMEM.SYS. It is not needed, as the default dosemu.conf provides both XMS- and EMS-memory.
