After installing bochs I ran the "bochs" command under X, accepting the defaults at each of the prompts displayed on the terminal. A Bochs window then opened, immediately followed by a panic dialog. The message read: Context: [CTRL ] Message: numerical parameter (null) was set to 1160251811462296568, which is out of range 9187336574315757804 to 1157773701224762848 (numbers may be wrong, I'm copying by hand).
