3.14 linux kernel has dropped the DPMI support for x86_64.
Yours is 3.13.0-29 - my guess is that it had backported
that behaviour from 3.14.
Your previous 3.13.0-27 was likely i686 (32bit), where the
DPMI support is still possible. Or it didn't have the aforementioned
backport.

So, to run foxpro, you either need old kernel or 32bit system.
Kernel developers seem to no longer consider dosemu users
as their target audience.
3.15 kernel will probably have a work-around to that problem
because wine was also affected (wine users are regarded much
better, it seems :)
