looking at the dosemu code; the following bit looks a tad suspect:

unsigned long int stk_ptr, stk_beg, stk_end;
...
 if ((fp = fopen("/proc/self/maps", "r"))) {
    while(fgets(line, 100, fp)) {
      sscanf(line, "%lx-%lx", &stk_beg, &stk_end);
      if (stk_ptr >= stk_beg && stk_ptr < stk_end) {
        stack_init_top = stk_end;
        stack_init_bot = stk_beg;
        c_printf("CPU: Stack bottom %#lx, top %#lx, esp=%#lx\n",
	  stack_init_bot, stack_init_top, stk_ptr);
	break;
      }
    }
    fclose(fp);
  }

do you see that printf somewhere in the logs? 
(afaics stk_ptr never gets initialized; what the code meant probably was 
 if (&stk_ptr >= stk_beg && &stk_ptr < stk_end) {
but the dosemu code is missing the two &'s )
