Bad exe

	When I tried running a program under 'wine --debugmsg +all,' I got an endless
loop.  I tested it with edit.exe.  What I was hoping for is that the program
would crash and I could get an idea of where the program was having the
problem.  That would have given me a starting point.  That did not happen.

	My problem seems to only effect programs compiled for 16 bit dos.  32 bit dos
programs appear to be running correctly.  I'm saying 32 bit because I know that
gcc compiled these programs to be 32 bits.

	It's worth checking into.  Any pointer will help.
