Hi.

Take a program compiled with djgpp 2.0, even a very simple one. Run it under
Linux dosemu (0.64 or 0.65 version). Stop it with ^C and restart it.
If you are not satisfied with the results :(, you can try this patch:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
diff -urN dosemu-0.65.0.6/src/dosext/dpmi/dpmi.c dosemu-0.65.0.6/src/dosext/dpmi/dpmi.c

 	do_cpu_exception(scp, code);

Can someone (Eli?) enlighten me on what's going on when you press ^C?
When a djgpp program terminates normally, I see all the shutdown sequence
up to the int0x21-AX=4Cxx which signals dosemu to quit the DPMI server.
This doesn't happen with ^C; on the dosemu side, I have currently to rely
on the stack fault to understand what went on. There should be a better
way.

Thanks
Alberto
