Hi Janos,

this reminded me of something similar that I have met cca three years
ago. You can try to find my thread "same distro, svn1999 DOSEMU
crashes on some PCs on SEGV, on others run fine" from 12/13/2010 in
dosemu-users list - this was on Fedora 14, but this may be same
problem which you see now on Fedora 3.

But something better - I managed to compile almost last dosemu devel
version on Fedora 3 i686, and this work well at me machine, both in
console and under X (also both in terminal mode 'dosemu -t' and with
native X (xdosemu).
Because there was lots things corrected and improved, maybe it will
run on Your system too. There is only one particularity:
after installing RPM and first dosemu run must be copied kernel.sys
to C:\ drive:

cp /usr/share/dosemu/drive_z/kernel.sys ~/.dosemu/drives/c/

You can download RPM and SRPM package at:
http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/dosemu/fc3/dosemu-1.4.0.8-git621.g431face.3.dbgemu.fc3.i686.rpm
http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/dosemu/fc3/dosemu-1.4.0.8-git621.g431face.3.dbgemu.fc3.src.rpm

Good luck, Franta Hanzlik
