I tried that -- but could not make sense of it. I get things like

open("/dev/shm/dosemu_16975", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_NOFOLLOW,
0600) = 5
fcntl64(5, F_GETFD)                     = 0
fcntl64(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
unlink("/dev/shm/dosemu_16975")         = 0
ftruncate(5, 0)                         = 0
ftruncate(5, 15794176)                  = 0
mmap2(NULL, 15794176, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED,
5, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(4, "ERROR: MAPPING: cannot map temp "..., 67) = 67
write(2, "ERROR: MAPPING: cannot map temp "..., 67) = 67

15794176 is some suspiciously "round" number (hex 00F10000).

I'd appreciate any ideas.
