It turns out that doscmd runs under a straight 1.2 or -current kernel, which
pretty much settled the question for me.

Or rather, it would have run under a straight kernel if setting "options VM86"
were sufficient.  After a great deal of fiddling around, I eventually
discovered that sys_machdep.o wasn't getting recompiled to enable the
appropriate new system call...  grrr.
