Gee, that's too bad.

However, if you want us to help you, that's not enough information to work on. You'll need to let us know how it is supposed to work, what is actually happening, when it occurs, and perhaps post the source code in question. You might want to try and isolate the failure point with debug statements and pseudo-breakpoints, if you haven't already. RTFAQ for more details, especially the page on Bochs, which lists some known issues with the emulator. The Bochs virtual machine is often more forgiving of certain asumptions (e.g., that memory is cleared before being used) than real hardware is.
