Yep, a known problem.  I suggest to take it up with Microsoft, since this 
problem doesn't exist in any other Windows version, inclduing NT 4.

If you are willing to try to dig into this problem and perhaps find a way 
to work around it, please search the archives of this news group (URL 
below) for a thread about this where I suggested how to investigate this 
problem.

Btw, somebody reported that if you never touch the keyboard while the 
compilation goes on, there's no crash.  Can you verify that on your 
system?

No, that's not the problem.  gcc *can* be used to compile C++ programs; 
it works on all other platforms supported by DJGPP.

Also, others reported that compilation outside RHIDE doesn't work as 
well.
