This is profoundly untrue for the current versions of DJGPP. I can tell
you that my Windows-based system runs for days on end with several large
DJGPP applications active all the time (I actually shut down my system on
weekends only), and the only cases when it crashes is when the power goes
off, or some network server is brought down too abruptly. The only thing
I do is to avoid installing any Microsoft-bred piece of software that
isn't absolutely required to run Windows.
