This self-adjusting program demonstrates the crash:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stubinfo.h>

#define FILLER 0x12f74

char filler2[FILLER];

extern int etext, edata, end;
extern int djgpp_first_ctor asm("djgpp_first_ctor");

int
main(void)
{
  printf("text %08x %08x\n", 0x10a8, &etext);
  printf("data %08x %08x\n", &djgpp_first_ctor, &edata);
  printf("bss  %08x %08x\n", &edata, &end);
  printf("stubinfo at %x\n", _stubinfo);
  if ((int)_stubinfo != 0x20000)
    printf("set FILLER to 0x%x\n", FILLER + (0x20000 - (int)_stubinfo));
  return 0;
}
