what version of dosemu?  do other dos programs work ok?  I haven't
tried dos4g myself, maybe others on here can comment if it works for
them.

Everything worked fine, so I tried to put it in our production server, running a 64-bits fedora 10. It didn't work. Dosemu hangs when it tries to execute dos4g.exe (it seems that it's a memory extender). Top shows  a processor maxing out on dosemu.

And that's the thing, dosemu works as it should when I run it through strace, but  hangs when it should execute dos4g if I run it "normally". The uids/gids are the same, I've compared the memory maps and they are exactly the same and I don't know what else to compare. Anyone has any idea of why it is doing this, and how to make it work without strace? I know that the obvious thing would be installing the CentOS that's proved to work, but this server is on the other side of the country and I don't have physical access to it. Any ideas are welcomed.
