Subject: V2 ld crashing

I've been trying to test out V2, and I have encountered a rather 
serious problem - for a simple 'hello' program, the compiler 
goes just fine.... till it runs the linker. ld then crashes 
with a meassge along these lines:
e:/djgpp/bin\ld.exe:djgpp.lnk:1: ignoring invalid character `\000' in expression

I am running a Win95 P90, 16M ram, an a couple of gigs free HD space. This
problem 
occurs in Win95, or in 'MSDOS mode', using CSWDPMI. It also happens if I run ld 
manually with the same command line gcc -v prints.

So... any ideas? Please?
