Agreed.

On Windows 9X the pdumper build does work, it just crashes too much.
So it sounds like some problem that could be fixed.
If we want to keep the MSDOS port, the way forward is to switch it to
pdumper. There's already an implementation in pdumper.c that uses
malloc and write instead of the missing mmap, it just was never tried
with the MSDOS port. I don't see any reasons why it couldn't work.
