I don't have time to download all these huge files, not to mention looking through them. Can't you djgpp gurus help me? Please??
To get fast and effective solution to your problem, you will have to supply the relevant info about your system, and exactly how it crashes. To gather this info, do the following:
At the DOS command prompt, type this:
set > environ.lst go32Write down or otherwise save what go32 printed in response. Write to the djgpp mailing list by sending mail to djgpp@sun.soe.clarkson.edu and put into your message the contents of the file environ.lst, what go32 printed when called with no arguments, the contents of your autoexec.bat and config.sys, what gcc printed during compilation with the -v switch, and what was shown by go32 on the top line at the moment of crash. Allow for up to 2 days (more on weekends) for all the reply messages to come in, then act according to what they recommend.
Be warned that you might get several dozens of messages in reply to your request; this is not meant to overflow your mailbox or sabotage your relationship with your system manager, it's just the usual friendly response of fellow djgpp'ers to your lonely cry for help. Some of the replies might suggest what you already checked and reported in your original message, or even miss the point altogether. Be ready for this and don't flame us for trying to help you as much as we can.
