In a nutshell: your program has a bug.  It crashes because it tried to 
access an address that is not part of the program's address space.  In 
other words, some pointer is garbled.

In this case, the EIP register, the instruction pointer, has the garbled 
value 0x65726574.  This value seems to be part of some ASCII text 
("tere", little-endian).  Does that text ring a bell?

The DJGPP FAQ list descdribes in section 12.2 how to start debugging your 
program using the information in the crash message.
