Another way of saying the same thing: I absolutely hate seeing patches that fix some theoretical issue that no Linux apps will ever care about.
No, it is not theoretical, but it is mainly about a DOS games and an MS linker, as for me. The things I'd like to get working, but the ones you may not care too much about:) The particular game I want to get working, is "Master of Orion 2" for DOS.
How about you just run it in dosbox instead of dosemu ?
Yes, that's a solution of course, but it is a bit like saying why not use Open Office instead of MS Word.
A long term goal of wine is to support DOS apps to. Of course it's not a priority, but it's there.

Can you tell me how the invisible high-word (invisible in VM-86, and in real mode) could possibly harm something running in VM-86 or read-mode ??? I don't even think it's a BUG. If the transition into and out of VM-86 doesn't handle the fact that the high-word of the stack hasn't been used in VM-86, then that piece of code is bad (the SP isn't even the same stack, BTW).
