Here's an idea (and a plea ;-) for a simple but very useful project: find
out what exactly causes NTVDM to crash when a DJGPP program invokes
another DJGPP program.
This involves downloading the library sources (v2/djlsr203.zip), pulling
dosexec.c file out of it, writing a small test program that invokes
another DJGPP program, then tracing the execution of dosexec.c functions,
either in a debugger or with added printf statements, and reporting here
where exactly does that crash happen.
I don't have access to Windows 2000, so I cannot do this myself. Knowing
where the crash happens is a necessary first step towards looking for a
work-around. If you care about DJGPP being workable on W2K, please help
us solve this nuisance.
Thanks in advance!
