After further experimentation, I'm starting to think there is something more
fundamentally strange going on here.

If I create a new user when the .dosemu directory is set up by /etc/skel, I
load dosemu and do a dir I get the directory listing that is actually
in /usr/share/dosemu/drive_z.

If I delete .dosemu in my new user's directory and then run dosemu and do a
dir I see what is in .dosemu/drive_c like I expected.

It seems to be looking in the wrong place for drive C when the .dosemu
directory is set up from /etc/skel, and it straightens itself out if it's
allowed to create its own .dosemu directory instead.

Some kind of a redirection problem?
