We applied your patch in the hope it would fix a date/time corruption
that happens after about 3wks of uptime.  But it didn't.
That is why we are trying to force a weekly restart of dosemu, by
killing it from crond.  So that it syncs with the Linux clock again.

Is there a way (INT 1Ah?) to force dosemu to reset its time to
Linux's, on request?  Looking at the dosemu code, it only does that
once, at dosemu start...
