That's an error message from your shell. It doesn't like something about line 86 of the "xdosemu" shell script. What does that line of that script look like (I don't have a dosemu I can look at right now)? To get more information, you could turn on the shell's tracing mode; for Bourne shells, you can change: #! /bin/sh to #! /bin/sh -x or add a "set -x" command into the script.
