help needed with application crashing in DOSEMU

Hi!

I have an old accounting application (Pastel) which works perfectly in
dosemu (1.0.2.1), but every now and again it dies with:

------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
C:\PACC\FROGFOOT>
Error loading overlay.                      Bywerkmodus             Num³
5:24 nm
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------

Problem is I can't figure out why it can't load the overlay and (surprise)
the company that sells this doesn't support it anymore and just wants us to
upgrade to the Windows software.

I've run this with debugging enabled (-D+a) in the hopes that someone can
see what is causing the application to die (can't it find the overlay?
(unlikely). does it run out of base memory, ems, xms, etc? is there some
unsupported dos call which it is trying to execute? is overlays supported in
dosemu at all?)
