While playing with FreeDOS I added a print-out to see which INT 0x21
calls that were unsupported.

FreeDOS does not support LFN so I find that every program generates
one INT 0x21, AX=0x71a0 at start-up. This is expected.

However when I start emacs there are many (more than 25) calls to this
function. That seems like a waste. Is emacs designed to behave like
this or is there a bug lurking somewhere?


Right,
