Please describe the situation more accurately. Does GCC *always*
crash for this specific source file convert.c? If it sometimes does
manage to compile convert.c, please post the output of gcc -v during
that successful compilation. Also, please post the contents of
convert.c.

This suggests a problem with long file names. Set LFN=y in the
environment and try compiling then. Also, make sure you have the
latest uploads of gcc281b.zip.
Btw, cwsdpmi.exe is available in v2,isc/csdpmi4b.zip from the same
place you get DJGPP.
