This is normal: dosemu uses some attribute((constructor)) functions that get called before main. The order isn't known (for newer GCCs you can set priorities but they are not used). Somehow the RPMFusion build ended up with an order that triggered the bug (that has, in principle been present in dosemu for many years), a linked-list where an element referenced itself, and so walking it caused the hang.
