DOS Protected Mode Interface failure.  It means that the VM86() call
failed in the Linux emulator.  This is probably understandable, since
it has never been implemented.  The patches for the BSD version of a
DPMI for the BSD version of Willows is available as part of the BSD
Willows distribution.  You will have to use that instead.
