After spending some more time in Google, and trying various search terms, I finally stumbled over the following... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosemu/+bug/216398 Summary... * temporary workaround; as root, issue the command... sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr * the sysctl command has to be re-issued after every reboot. Add vm.mmap_min_addr=0 to /etc/sysctl.conf for it to be set properly every reboot That should be safe until the next sys-apps/baselayout update. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
