I think it just changed on F8.  This machine has the latest kernel
( 2.6.25.4-10.fc8) and  /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr  was set to 65536 by
default.  However, on another F8 computer that's still running the previous
kernel (2.6.24.7-92.fc8) /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr defaults to 0.

Changing the value to 0 on this computer hasn't made any difference that I've
noticed so far, other than that dosemu once again runs.  I'm still wondering
why the default value was changed.

It probably depends on what dos programs you're trying to run.  I use dosemu
extensively, myself, and haven't really found anything not to like about it.
I've never tried dosbox.  I've never really tried running dos games or
anything graphical under dosemu, either.
