"strange character mode" is probably
the "raw" mode. You probably set
$_rawkeyboard=(1) in your dosemu.conf.
I suspect you also did some other
unsafe changes in dosemu.conf, which,
only coupled with the root privs,
causes a reboot. (without the root
privs the reboot is not possible by
any means)
To get out of the "raw" mode you can
use either the kbd_mode command (which
you have to put in your script), or the
Alt-PrtSc-r keycombo.

That's strange. I think this means that
it is not really killed, and the process
is still spinning. You can ssh to your
PC and see what's going on in ps.

You can also try xdosemu (if possible)
where all the like problems do not
exist.
