Replying to [comment:2 domiman@…]:
> The problem is that even when the crash is fixed, core dynamic on 64bit
is way less efficient and is at about only 20-50% of the speed than on
32bit. And this likely won't change since this is just the nature of the
64bit dynamic core :(
> (not to mention that current SVN of Dosbox is broken again and the 64bit
built is at only 1% speed of the 32bit built :) - I volunteered for the
dosbox defs to find the culprit but haven't had time to do so) [[br]]
> [[br]]
> Since DOS emulation needs a lot of speed for "newer" old DOS games this
is the reason I'd never recommend a 64bit built of Dosbox.
I see. I was going on your comment above:

> This is resolved in SVN of Dosbox and thus should be working whenever a
new version is out.
You didn't mention that it was also slower and that this was not yet
fixed. Given this new information, I now agree disabling the 64-bit build
would be a good idea. However, it does not build 32-bit for me. My log is
attached.
