I see.

I did the test with a plotting program (compiled in native 
DOS 6.22 with DJGPP) that uses less to browse its help 
file: less functions erratically. But the program runs 
correctly. 

I run a big Mingw32 program (Alternative Transients 
Program) from the same plotting program: the Mingw32 
compiled program runs correctly, when it is called from a 
DJGPP program.

I ran the DJGPP plotting program from the Mingw32 plotting 
program: DJGPP program runs correctly.

As Mr. Zaretskii wrote, the problem is when a DJGPP program 
calls another DJGPP program, as make, etc.
