DOSEMU is just that -- an emulator for good old real-mode DOS. Your binary
has a proprietary Phar Lab stub that tries to *extend* DOS by putting the
CPU into protected mode. Since the chip is already in 
protected/virtual8086 mode, this fails.

I am not sure whether this will work, but you could try and report what
happens: Put $_dpmi=4096 in /etc/dosemu.conf. If the Phar Lap stub is
intelligent, it will find a DPMI server and use its services. I might add
that turning on DPMI services in Dosemu is considered to be a *major*
security hole and is deprecated.
