Hmm. There are some similiar conditions. And it may be the same bug.

Is your dosemu not suid root? And running in X when you are playing those
games? You don't have any ports lines in your dosemu.conf?

It is very important to rule out dosemu doing direct hardware access, before investigating
something else like the kernel.
