You don't mention your machine type, but I suspect that characters
on your CPU are unsigned (as they are on my 3B2).  Look in config.h
for "typedef char	schar;" and change the typedef to the suggested
alternative.  Likewise for "typedef char	uchar;", although it
probably isn't necessary.

The problem in dosdoor() is that the terminating condition of the
final for() loop isn't being recognized because the structure member
(an unsigned character) is being checked to see if it's negative.
(The actual number is -1.)
