When I try to run Fragile Allegiance under DOSBox the game seems to run fine for a while, roughly 1-2 minutes before I get a hard CTD to desktop.
This is not an application crash, as the game runs fine under DOSBox 0.73 and 0.74 under Windows, but on my Linux laptop it causes DOSBox to crash.
The crash itself leaves no errors, no traces, even when checking my journalctl -r, the last few lines in the log are:

There are a couple of other games that have this issue as well, Death Rally and Deadly Games.
Is there a way to put DOSBox in a debug mode so you can know what it was doing when it crashed? I haven't found any such setting except somebody mentioning recompiling DOSBox which is a bit... excessive.
