The echo command didn't fix it.
I installed the package you suggested, and it worked on the 32 bit
machine. I then tried installing the package for a 64 bit machine, and
got the same error.
Thank you for helping me get the accounting package back in service.
I will follow the suggestion by the others to use the
http://sourceforge.net/p/dosemu/bugs/
link in the future to report problems.

Hello.
Try running this as root before running DOSEmu:
echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr
Sometimes the 32 bit CPU emulator fails and that command above
allows DOSEmu to use the CPU directly when in a 32 bit Linux environment.
Another thing to try is to install the Debian package:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/dosemu
If you fix the problem, then it may be useful for others that you
tell us how you fixed it.
Thanks!!!
P.s.: happy systems administrators day!!!

As I reported to the list quite a while ago, I had to run an
accounting package in a 32 bit machine because I could not get it to
work in a 64 bit, both running fedora linux, and both on AMD hardware.
I have migrated the 32 bit machine to ubuntu 12.04 (precise) and
installed the standard dosemu package. I now have the same error
crash when I try to start the accounting program:
Invalid Opcode at 99E3 1f9c 3216 181300DF 1813 7*0000
and the boot log:
Illegal op ff ff ff
cpu exception 0x06 err 0x00000000 cr2=00017e6d eip=000093e3
Sigkill while in vm86():1f9c:99e3
Note that the above is identical to errors that I get running on a 64
bit ubuntu machine.
I could post the entire boot log file if that would help. I really
need to get the accounting software to run under the ubuntu installation.
If there is a configuration tweak that I need to do, it's not obvious
to me. I could try the hundreds of variations in the configuration
file, but I would just be shooting in the dark.
I could also send the accounting software files if someone wants to
try play with it, but I am not going to post it to the discussion list.
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.
