Try setting LFN=y and LFN=n explicitly in the environment and see if any
of these two make Emacs work on Windows 95.  Depending on which one works,
I might guess what's wrong and suggest a solution. 

Which program did you use to unzip the .tar.gz distribution?

This is not how the debugger interface in Emacs works.  The way it is 
written, it runs the debugger as an asynchronous process, and that just 
doesn't work on MSDOS.
