The dosemu binary has a rwx stack segment, so this means that

This makes it a lot easier to exploit than in the stack was rw-

The source objects src/env/video/remap_asm.o and
src/env/video/vesabios_pm.o cause this.

There were actually a few other files too, namely the 16bit bios.o and
vesabios.o files; those were not found by the tool you referred too.
Not surprisingly because they were linked in a strange way.

It's been corrected in SVN changes 1622 and 1623.

Thanks,
