I now know why I do not see any file in /usr after running dosemu. The 
whole /usr mount disappears in /proc/mounts. When I remount it I have a 
usable laptop again. Running dosemu a second time does not remove the 
mount again. In the mean time I have seen /usr disappear after running 
other programs like xterm and firefox. But until now never after 
remouting it.

This is a at home environment with a nfs server in the meter cupboard. I 
have not changed the exports.

I am not using autofs

/usr is mounted ro and exported ro

The nfs-server is slackware64 14.0 with a 3.4 kernel
part from exports:
/nfs/usr       -ro,async,no_subtree_check 10.10.0.0/16

The laptop is slackware(32 bit) 14.1 with yesterday's linus kernel

I do not understand what you mean by this. It uses ~/.dosemu/drive_c
