If we follow the same conclusion from bug 7387 this bug is still valid.
Yes, until wine removes vm86 support and only uses dosbox (which would need to make a release with this fix).
At this point, no decision has been made on removing vm86 support (to my knowledge).
Austin, are you saying there's talk (but no decision) about removing vm86?
I think dosbox would need to be turned into a library that Wine links with, instead of just being called started and left to run standalone, or maybe vm86 could run with QEMU on systems that don't support vm86.
It has come up at WineConf / on #winehackers, though not discussed in (great) detail.
