Did you consider a possibility that this is a bug in your program?
DJGPP runs in protected mode, where your program gets bombed if it
tries to access memory out of its address space or do something
else it isn't allowed to do.  Such programs can run for years when
compiled by real-mode compilers.

A small program called SYMIFY should be present in the bin subdirectory
of your DJGPP directory.  Its use is explained in the FAQ list (get
the file faq101.zip from the same place you got DJGPP), section 9.5.
It will allow you to translate the stack trace printed on the screen
when your program crashes, into human-readable list of source files
and line numbers where the problem occured.
