Tested: works. No more crashes.
Anyway make should not crash even on errors.

No need to rebuild kernel. I simply changed DPMI_MAX_CLIENTS to 16
(Frank used 32 but also 16 was enough) and rebuild DOSEMU. Frank used 
dosemu-0.66.7 but I rather recent development version (0.99.9) and it worked for 
both of us. So I don't expect problems also with other version.

Maybe it's worth to ask to increase this value in dosemu sources or even better
to put it into config file.  So we would not to have to patch sources more.
