Is there any way I can get some debug output? This obviously works a-ok on a
"real" dos system. Since it's a bug, i'd like to fix it. dosemu is the one
spontaneously closing though, there's no segfault in the console where I started
it, so I assume dosemu is just dying. Any devel or other person that can tell
me how I can debug this?
