I'm forwarding this from the DOS-Emu (DOS emulator for LINUX)
(linux-msdos-digest / Majordomo AT vger DOT rutgers DOT edu)
mailing list (with H. Lermen's permission) to get opinions
from the people on OpenDOS.
(I'm not trolling for flames, (just reasoned reactions) honest! :-) )

This was reported to happen with non-MS DOSes (DRDOS and successors).
It looks like to be a bug in command.com. I would appreciate, if you could
manage to test with an alternative command.com (such as 4dos) and report
back.
