Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: Original bug fixed, it does run dos applications now, just not all of them, but this has never been guaranteed.

Half OT: dosemu might be the better choice for DOS programs.

Test with the new, wine 1.1.0 package on testing, and report if the issue persists.

Some DOS apps still don't work, but the unprotected memory message no longer appears.

So I guess this is an upstream problem more than a problem of the package itself, since wine is not guaranteed to run all applications.

Additionally, 1.1.0 gives me more trouble with sound - OSS via pulseaudio is now very slow, for instance, and alsa via jack seems crashier. I think it might be better to stick with 1.0.x in Extra.
