Recently there have been reports of djgpp programs that "just hang". I found a way to duplicate this behavior by undefining the DJGPP environment variable. Try this out with DOS and CWSDPMI (not a Windows dos box). I have a full 2.81 distribution. > ver 4DOS 5.0 DOS 6.20 > set djgpp= > gcc -v Nothing appears to happen, but paging will start in about 10 seconds. Watch your disk light. > ^C You will get a SIGABRT message. > cd \ > undelete cwsdpmi.swp The swap file C:\CWSDPMI.SWP contains many repetitions of the string "$DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/". Something is getting into a loop and filling up memory. Josh Rubin jlrubin AT bway DOT net
