Title:
  dosemu doesn't work due to glibc bug

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just installed fresh ubuntu 12.04

  I was succesfully compiled dosemu-1.4.0, unfortunately didn't work (it
  worked in ubuntu previous version). Looking to the ~/.dosemu/boot.log
  I found this weird messages:

  MFS: dos_gen: path_to_ufs '/home/bambang/.dosemu/drives/c//command.com'
  MFS: dos_fs: build_ufs_path result is '/home/bambang/.dosemu/drives/c/commndd.com'

  Notice that command.com is mangled to commndd.com, very strange.

  Searching in google I found the same error:
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3440083&group_id=49784&atid=457447

  A comment in above page suggest that the error is due to glibc which
  has been fixed here:
