[Bug 991668] Re: dosemu doesn't work due to glibc bug

[Adam Conrad]

This isn't a glibc bug, and the glibc commit referenced in the log here
was applied long ago (and is in the precise glibc).

The comments on the dosemu tracker imply that this has been fixed in
more recent dosemu SVN snapshots, if one can hunt down the commit, it
could certainly be backported.

** Package changed: eglibc (Ubuntu) => dosemu (Ubuntu)

Title:
  dosemu doesn't work due to glibc bug

Status in “dosemu” 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:
