Bug 307903 – Some thing changing dosemu settings for a login user on my gentoo

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Gert Andersen 2010-03-05 15:19:19 UTC]

I don't know if it this is dosemu, gentoo system or kernel error. But i have now in the last 8 days seen my gentoo x86 system on my dual processor pc have got changed dosemu settings for one of my daily users runs, and it seem to happen each friday nighly between 03:00 and 04:00
I have 3 user on my gentoo pc a root, kofo and mbse user.
It is for the user mbse the dauly user the dosemu problem comes.
The c: drives been changes to point as liek wrong created symlink for dos drive c:


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login as user mbse and then dosemu
2. dir
3.

Actual Results:  
dir shows wrong path from linux symlink, /etc/dosemu/drives/d
files showed is then:
the files from in above path. 

Expected Results:  
command 'dosemu' and dir should have showed path /opt/mbse/dosenu/drive_c, not the d: and symlink for another thing and it like the settings is changes by something in the system for both symlink and dosemu settings for this mbse user.


After I got the error for the wrong path and setting for user mbse have I checked dosemu settings for user root and kofo, and here is the settings working fine.
I have then done this that I have copied all files and directories in /opt/mbse/dosemu/drive_c/ to a another palce as user mbse to /opt/mbse/drive_c/, deleted /opt/mbse/dosemu/, run emerge dosemu and the right sering for user mbse is back until next time the errors happens.

Now have i take a look in my /var/log/messsages file and found 2 things there could be the error making by gentoo system.
the last time is by the night run for a log statistic run I don't know about .
Mar 5 03:10 syslog-ng[12352]: log statistic xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
Mar 5 03:57 kernel: dosemu.bin[10682]: segfault

I can only see it may be the syslog-ng log statistic run there make the error, where before it runs is there no error but after it have run is there error happens.

Does it still happen for you on dosemu 1.4.1_pre20130107 and upper in tree?
