That is a really weird and unique thing, the way emacs does that. I remember
it doing that a long time ago. It still does it when I try to use emacs from
just DOS and not from DOS-within-Windows. On a hunch I did tried something:
I changed the line, "set LFN=y", in my autoexec.bat to "rem set LFN=y". When I
restarted, emacs behaved exactly as you describe, i.e. it exited on invocation.

Try adding this:
set LFN=y
That turns on djgpp programs' long file name handling.
