Hello, I'm trying to run the NewViews 1.41b accounting program, which has been happily working in dosemu / DR DOS v6.0 for years. Now it gives an Illegal Op error and exits when trying to open the accounts books directory. The machine is running ubuntu/x86_64, and NewViews works correctly up to package version dosemu_1.4.0+svn.1999-1 but the next package release does not work (dosemu_1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-1). The following excerpt from the boot.log was with the latest git tree from the 'devel' branch. The Illegal Op is always the same, although the CPU exception code seems to vary depending on the release of dosemu. Various parts of the application can be navigated through, but as soon as the directory containing the accounting books is selected the crash occurs. I presume it is scanning the directory and opening files. I tried various cpu emulation options. I also found one similar crash report in the bug system that mentioned setting vm.mmap_min_addr to 0. Neither option helped. Excerpt from boot.log follows. The full Debug +a log is at http://www.bork.org/~mort/boot.log Please let me know if any other info might help. Thanks, mh !!!
