Groan.  Except for your kernel version there isn't anything bleeding edge.
So unless you have triggered a rare kernel bug it's almost certainly a
real problem, that your particular setup triggers.

There are none generally known.

Delete the above line.  Hopefully it is harmless but lredir doesn't need it,
and without the path this might confuse the system.

R>> install=c:\emu\lredir.exe d: linux\fs/dosc
R>> install=c:\emu\lredir.exe e: linux\fs/dosd
R>> install=c:\emu\lredir.exe g: linux\fs\/

It might be a tad safer to say
c:\emu\lredir.exe g: linux\fs\

cpu=586 is a tad questionable cpu=386 seems more stable
hogthreshold=1 is questionable as that is the maximum hogthreshold
               setting, 20 or 40 are generally better values
