Sorry for the delay...

Yes, it seems that it was outdated.

It was 1.4.0.  Apparently, it's the official release of DOSEMU and
hasn't been updated since 2007...  I think it needed a 2009 udpate
for newer microprocessors.  I downloaded the newest DOSemu source
(1.4.0.8) from Git sourceforge, built and installed it.  It boots
my MS-DOS FAT32 partition now.
