There are a lot of debug options.
You may enable the debug logging with
-D9+xxx option, where xxx specifies the
type of events you are going to log.
So, to enable a file access logging,
you'll have to specify something like
"-D9+d -o /tmp/log" as a dosemu command-line
arguments. Consult "man dos" for more.
If you want to debug the program that
is running under dosemu, you have to
start "dosdebug" program that comes with
dosemu.
And if you want to debug dosemu itself
(which is what you have to do in case
it locks up), you have to recompile it
with debug info and attach a gdb to it.

Even if you are not strictly limited,
you'll certainly have a filesystem
corruption once the both instances of
dosemu are going to write something
simultaneously.
