Running Status is a MIDI message, usually encountered in long strings of 
messages with the same status. According to the MIDI Programmer's 
Handbook, "It is the receiver's responsibility to identify and process 
Running Status transmissions."

The more I consider the problem, the more I think it may have something 
to do with Active Sensing bytes. An Active Sensing byte (hex FE) is sent 
every 300 ms if an instrument is idle, perhaps the message timing in 
your examples should be checked for their incidence ?

DOSemu is likely to support only the MPU driver. Is that what you're using ?
