Normal for DOS apps.

Locking memory was only necessary in real DOS because paging out critical
interrupt handlers and such under DOS was a recipe for disaster. It is not
important under a virtual "DOS box" like the one Wine implements.

"Get Vendor-Specific API entry point", not important

Now this is what shouldn't happen. 80000102 is EXCEPTION_VM86_STI, which
is a very normal condition raised by __wine_enter_vm86 (and the DOSVM
event handling and signaling system), it should have been caught and
handled by the DOSVM subsystem in winedos (by dispatching interrupts).
Then again, if your app is a DPMI app, perhaps something does not handle
this right once the app enters protected mode. (You could ask the last
developer that I remember working on DPMI, Jukka Heinonen, I doubt I'll
have much time to fix a not-so-minor problem like this myself.)
