I did, as I said, eventually figure it out and run as you said - at least, I believe I have. Perhaps I should detail exactly what I'm running with, most recently, trimmed down to the absolutely smallest subset possible in a new test: ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/djdev204_alpha.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/alpha/v2gnu/gcc340b.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/alpha/v2gnu/gpp340b.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/alpha/v2gnu/txt20b.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/alpha/v2gnu/bsh205bb.zip (or, alternately ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/bsh205bb.zip) Note that for this I don't actually have Binutils installed, and it complains about "cannot exec 'as'". But for this that's okay. With the version of BASH from Delorie, I get the "cannot allocate 792674112 bytes" error. With the version from Clio, it segfaults, just like the 2.03 version. Am I still missing something here? My understanding from your original message was: For GNU tools, Delorie's site is newer than Clio, *BUT*... ...for DJDev tools, Clio is newer than Delorie's. Hence, the first configuration listed there should be the right one, to my understanding, and indeed it comes *closer* to working. (But still doesn't - and that's okay, I've been too buried in other emergency stuff to look at it much.) I am certainly not ignoring options by intent... I just initially misunderstood, and when I realized that (i.e., saw the second post on the topic), I attempted to correct my mistake - but it doesn't seem to have helped the problem any. I more than understand time limitations, believe me! - that's why I'm in the fix I'm in! - so that's part of why I'm trying to help out by feeding more information along here. But I have to understand *how* to help in order to do so.
