After comparing program outputs and finding they were exactly the same,
I've decided that this appears to be the problem. 

Sifting through Microsoft's knowledge base, I found an article related 
to 16 bit executables and how they won't work.
Though I am aware that djgpp executables are 32 bit, I performed
MS's "test" (at least for this example), which consists of using 
Explorer | Properties for the file and seeing how many tabs there are.
For 32 bit modules there should be 2 of them, more for 16 bit.
Which is what my djgpp program shows.

Upsetting. Maybe I should just use apache.
