Hi.

I was trying to run the "configure" script for GMP (GNU MP Bignum
Package) on DJGPP with "bash", and this happened:

bash-2.04$ ./configure
configure: loading site script c:/djgpp/share/config.site
configure: loading cache /dev/null
./configure: .: /dev/null: not a regular file
checking build system type... pentium4-pc-msdosdjgpp
checking host system type... pentium4-pc-msdosdjgpp
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/
ginstall.exe -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... no
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)...
C:\unzipped\gmp-4.2.1>

Bam -- right there it goes back to the DOS prompt. Not to the bash
prompt but bash completely crashes somehow (without giving me any sort
of error message) and goes back to the DOS prompt. What is wrong here?

PS. I'm using Windows 2000 as the main operating system.
