this is because your S-Lang library is broken. Mine is broken too. I'm
really not very happy about this as I thought we could by now trust the
system S-Lang but apparently not.

What happened is that the SLsmg_Display_Eight_Bit variable is completely
ignored by the slang library I have here (1.4.4). My self-compiled slang
(1.4.7) is doing it OK, so you could check if updated slang and
slang-devel libraries are available somewhere.

Now the quick&dirty workaround:
in any fairly dosemu source <=1.1.4.3 you'll find
src/lib/libarch_linux_slang-elf.a
what you need to do is to copy this file to
src/lib/libslang.a
in your current DOSEMU source tree. Then type make and the umlauts should
work.
