Re: Problem with dosemu

[jankomEarthlink <janosk@earthlink.net>]

Thank you, Franta, for getting back to this problem. In the meantime I 
ran strace and googled the issue and saw some bug reports on this 
segmentation fault. Here is the last part of the strace listing. (Btw., 
I'll try your rpm tomorrow, it is getting late here, and I have to clean 
up my system again before I install your rpm, and will let you know if 
it worked).

There is also an error just before the raw socket message about not 
finding libc.mo file for messages in locale, but I don't think it is 
important. Interestingly, there is such a file in my /user/share/locale/ 
directories in many languages, including en_GB, but not in plain en.

I think the problem is with the mmap, mprotect stuff.

I hope this helps the developers.
