Hi Manfred!
I tried your patches, but they didn't work out as they should on 1.3.4 and
1.4.0.
I had the same problem with some other program on Linux kernel 2.6.24. They
changed kernel idle time handling somewhere between 2.6.18 and 2.6.24. Now in
some programs, and dosemu is one of them, the CPU load runs high to over 90%
on current Linux kernels.
Perhaps someone knows where to change that in the source code.
Regards
Claudia
