Ok, thanks for your reply.
I'm currently building qemu from CVS code several times a week, but I
never had DOS related problems. The guest OS is Win98 SE and I use
the DOS command prompt quite often. What are you doing, when it
crashes qemu? Does this occur randomly or when running special
programs/typing special commands?
Inspired by your e-mail I did some tests with the first "heavy" DOS
application that came to my mind: FastTracker 2.09 - Ok, qemu is too
slow to produce some enjoyable sound with it, but despite of this
everything seemed to work well. While the track was running, I played
around in the audio settings of FastTracker to tweak it a bit - and
indeed: qemu crashed. Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce this. Maybe
it's just a bug in the SoundBlaster emulation which hasn't been
totally completed yet?
My host is an iMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.3 and Xcode 2.2 installed. I
use the following options to configure the build:
configure --prefix=/usr/local --cc=gcc-3.3 --host-cc=gcc-3.3 --target-
list=i386-softmmu --enable-coreaudio --enable-cocoa
Btw: Using "--cc=gcc" (which is gcc 4.0.2) also works fine.
I haven't tried FreeDOS yet, but if you like, you can point me to an
image and give me some detailed instructions to reproduce the himem
and xms issues.
Sincerely
Jo.

Thanks for this correction,
it does indeed fix the dead key issue which I was not aware of,
when I wrote that code to retrieve isochars. (I have no dead keys
on my PB Keyboard :) )
Fixed this in Q. But the next Build will have to wait a little,
since we have some other Problems on OS X.
Maybe You can help us out a little with this:
When running DOS/DOS Prompt under windows under QEMU, I experience
crashes all the way.
With freedos I have figured out, that loading himem or xms will
crash QEMU (Option 1). Option 3 (no Drivers) works. So it could be
a memory mapping issue... DOOM crashes half way down.
This behaviour was introduced with the new MP Code. It's not
related to cocoa.m, it also happens with SDL. I have the same
Result with Tiger and Panther. There are no public builds yet...
that would generate to much mails :)
Maybe You could just reproduce this issue?
Mike
