On my system, there was no problem with your program.(for both cases of -lgr 
and -lgrx)

I am using the standard distribution of djgpp 1.10 and go32 1.10a from 
pub/csdpmit1.zip and *.grn drivers and libgrx.a from pub/grxdrvb1.zip.

Please check your versions your are using.  If versions are the same as mine, 
I guess the problem might be in somewhere else other than djgpp. (possibly, 
memory conflict with memory manager and graphics board??....)

Wonkoo.
