DOS vm86 not working?

I just tried dosemu again after upgrading to 2.4.0pre11, and it ran my program about halfway and then started spinning with strace reporting:

vm86(0x1, 0x811f540, 0xa6, 0xfff8fff1, 0x81d30a4) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented) vm86(0x1, 0x811f540, 0xa6, 0xfff8fff1, 0x81d30a4) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented) vm86(0x1, 0x811f540, 0xa6, 0xfff8fff1, 0x81d30a4) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)

I don't see any reason in the source why vm86 would report ENOSYS except if the system call simply wasn't present. I'm not really familiar with this source though so I could be missing something. Is there something wrong with the vm86 code and it's just always returning ENOSYS now?

I haven't tried this program in 2.2 yet, I'll have to do that next time I get a chance to reboot.

What version of dosemu are you using? When running the latest kernel releases you really need a development version of dosemu. I didn't have any problem running dosesemu-1.1.1 on 2.4.0-test11. Check out
http://www.dosemu.org/ for the latest release.
