Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dosemu

On Ubuntu 10.04 and also 10.10 (beta) entering “dosemu -s” on the
console crashes the entire system.  The “-s” causes dosemu to run in
superuser mode and thus gives you access to running graphical DOS
applications like DOSSHELL and print-preview mode in WordPerfect 5.1.

The text on the console turns blue briefly but not long enough to see
what it says.  Then the screen goes blank.  None of the usual key
combinations (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Alt+F7, etc) seem to have any effect.
The system is unresponsive.  Only solution seems to be a hard shutdown
(power off) and restart.

Daren.

PS: this worked on Ubuntu 9.10
