+Unable to run OS/2 Warp4.52
+Description of problem:
+Operating system crashes upon boot.
+Steps to reproduce:
+1. Install OS/2 Warp4
+2. Apply Fixpack15
+3. Try to boot the system
+Additional information:
+This is a very old bug that seems to render a whole family of Operating Systems (OS/2 Warp4 and eComStation) unusable under Qemu.
+Warp4 works, in the sense that it does install and run, but just until it is updated to 4.52 (which is necessary to get a useable guest)
+
+I found traces of its existence as far as:
+https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1743441
+https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-02/msg02337.html
+
+And i found the issue brieffly commented at https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=2346.0
+I quote: 
+ 
+'Regarding QEMU/KVM, OS/2 runs in QEMU mostly fine. Except the trap in os2lvm.dmd and non-working netbeui.os2 and
+tcpbeui.os2. The problem with os2lvm.dmd is because QEMU closely follows the intel spec, which is incorrect. The spec says
+that 16-bit SGDT instruction behaves the same like in i286 processor. But it's not true, it behaves like i386 instruction. So, QEMU
+emulates SGDT 16-bit instruction incorrectly. OS2LVM.DMD uses 16-bit SGDT instruction and it hits the problem.'
+
+After a brief discussion on the Warp4 group at groups.io where I was told that this is indeed a Qemu bug, I thought someone has 
+to report on that.
