I was coding some little piece of fun stuff and all seemed right in
the world. I ran her over and over, and she worked with all my test
inputs and gave me sterling output. Then she crashed! So I ran her
again (same code, same inputs), and she ran fine. So I ran her again
(same code, same inputs), and ths time she crashed. And so on.
Sometimes crash, sometimes not. I'm a little confused that same code
and inputs would only sometimes crash. This isn't complicated stuff,
and while I had malloced up a bunch of mem, even reducing the amount
of memory malloced seemed not to reduce the rate of crashing. (And
besides, my error catch on malloc never even winked at me).

So I'm stumped. I feel that there is something I'm missing, something
basic, and this will sound like a problem familiar to more experienced
DJGPPers (this is my first go-round with DJGPP).

Any and all help appreciated.

Peace,
