Well, it is just a polite behaveor (not a
bug), but in fact it is possible to use the
device without locking it. There are reasons
against doing this however.

There are no reasons doing so, as in my own opinion
after all dosemu was never very stable:) So you just
have to find the version that is most suitable for your
own requirements and if this appears to be a development
version - why not? For that reason, btw, a lot of people
are still using dosemu-0.98 as it meets their needs
better than any 1.x versions, but this hopefully can be
changed when 1.2 comes.

As this will fix your particular problem - yes. Or
you can even use the latest pre-releases as several
people are doing already, because 1.1 branch was
evolving rather steadily for the last year.
As a bonus of using pre-releases, you'll be able to
apply some extra patches to get for example sound
working in games:)
