Package: dosbox Version: 0.72-1.1 Severity: normal Question: is it possible that a program B which has exitted still has an impact on the behaviour of a program P run afterwards (supposing that the program B has not written anything to disk impacting P)? Shouldn't the program B be completely out of memory after crashing? I guess it is not possible in normal Dos, hence I suspect some DosBox bug (hence my bug report)...
A have a Dos program B (for Broken) which does not work i.e., it quits with some error message when launched (this is not DosBox' fault, I guess, and I'm not complaining about that). But I also have a Dos program P which works, i.e., it behaves as intended when I begin a new DosBox session and immediately launch the program P. The problem I suspect DosBox of is the following: if I first launch B (which crashes as expected), and launch P afterwards, then P also crashes with some error message. B does not write anything to the disk before crashing, AFAI can tell (as after launching a new DosBox session, mounting the same part of the disk, I am able to launch P if I don't launch B before). Both programs come from the Wing Commander Privateer game (the 1993 version), I can explain how to reproduce the problem if needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dosbox depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.16-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.1-9 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl 7.0.3-6 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsdl-net1.2 1.2.7-2 network library for Simple DirectM ii libsdl-sound1.2 1.0.3-1 Decoder of several sound file form ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++6 4.3.1-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime dosbox recommends no packages. dosbox suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
