Sure, but vanilla DOS features have greater chance of being properly
emulated.  In general, the closer to the hardware you code, the more
problems you should expect from emulators.

No clue, sorry.  Fwhere_is_internal (and its subroutines) are part of
the Lisp engine, they look through a bunch of tables for a binding of
a key.  I don't see there anything special except perhaps some memory
allocation.

Perhaps if you find out where exactly inside that call does it abort,
I'll see some light.

Thanks.
