Hi Janos,
sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure, when Your SIGSEGV DOSEMU crash
is caused by accessing to shm - Your strace seems normal. FYI, on my
FC3/i686/1GB RAM my strace in Your place is this:

2) Your error message: '"/usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts": error scanning'
is perhaps caused by fc-cache problem. What You obtain on command:
fc-cache -v -f /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts
It should be successfull and in '/usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts' directory
should be created (empty) file 'fonts.cache-1'.
You should also verify dosemu RPM package right installation by cmd:
rpm -V dosemu
On my PC it produce only one line (which is OK):
.......T.   /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts/fonts.dir

Also, are You using xfs - X font server?

Maybe You have somehow broken Your system - e.g. missing some files
or directories, bad ownership or permissions on them etc.
You can verify it by 'rpm -Va' command. This should not produce any
serious problems (it is necessary assessed output individually).

3) Did You tried run dosemu in console and/or in Xterm in terminal
 mode ('dosemu -t')? What is result?
