The High ASCII bug in v1.3.4, 1.3.5 persists

The High ASCII bug in v1.3.4, 1.3.5 persists

[Tony Borras]

With my historic .dosemurc/dosemu.conf running on the same
development system, dosemu 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 WILL display normal
MS-DOS high ascii (border drawing, etc.) but not 1.3.4 or 1.3.5!
I run dosemu on a Linux /dev/tty?, but same result on an X rxvt.

What changed in 1.3.4 and persited in 1.3.5 that could affect
this?

And yes of course, I have used the cp437/850 character sets and
tried several other HIASCII mapped shell fonts, with the same
effect.  Why would it be fine with 1.3.2/1.3.3 and broken
1.3.4/1.3.5?

What could I try to debug this!

The dosemu make config is the same in all version build:

#!/bin/sh
#
make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--target=i486-pc-linux-gnu --with-target-cpu=i486 --without-x \
--disable-dlplugins --disable-mitshm --disable-aspi 2>&1 | \
tee cf.log

make 2>&1 | tee mk.log

So what is your historic .dosemurc/dosemu.conf? Esp the internal and
external char set settings?

I did not receive any reply to my enquiries last time (@dosemu-devel)
and it works for me so the terminal code hasn't changed from 1.3.4 to
1.3.5.

The output of
locale charmap
and a debug log (~/.dosemu/boot.log) of
dosemu -D+v
would be helpful (both in rxvt and on the linux console)
