I meant just a local test-case on your PC. :)
It can't be a part of an automated test-suit of course.
But after changing anything in vm86 or signal handling,
running dosemu will never hurt, as it is probably the
most rigorous test-case for them. I deduce that based
on its breakage frequency with the kernel updates.
