           Summary: Integrate support for v86-64?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/v86-64/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


The error

wine: Cannot start DOS application "foo.exe" because vm86 mode is not supported
on this platform.

pops up when trying to run 16 bit dos apps in wine on x86_64 systems
(e.g. bug 16037, or trying to run win16test).

This is a kernel limitation for which a patch seems to be available:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/v86-64/

That kernel patch also comes with a wine patch.

We may want to support it sometime.
