I was wondering if anyone had any special settings they used.  It was
running fine until I upgraded to the new release of debian linux.  I
downgraded dosemu back to the previous version after a few programs gave me
grief, though.  Only TW kept behaving badly.

Actually, dosbox is where I am getting the error message that I posted the
other day.  When it stops working in a dosemu session, it crashed the
session (the session closes) and I do not see the error message.

Since it is borked in both dosbox and dosemu, I wonder if it is not something
underlying in how these dos emulators access the linux file system.  Maybe
something in the upgrade of the linux OS "underneath" is causing it.
