This usually helps:
Hit CTRL+F10 , will realease the mouse, and click then once again in dosbox.

When the error happens again, switch DOSBox to windowed mode and then switch to the status window. What are the last lines in the window?

This is a known issue with Stonekeep, caused by the game not recognizing some exotic mouse drivers (which DosBox is). Was the same problem with my German version of StoneKeep, luckily I got the game CD from some magazine which included a Microsoft mouse driver on it as a predictable fix.
Download this driver here and load it in DosBox (just add the EXE to the [autoexec] part of dosbox.conf.) before playing the game, this should fix the issue.

Thanks for the info.
I'll have to keep that in mind for solving other compatibility issues.

You're lucky, I can't even start a game.
