	Yes, I did run configure.bat from the djgpp directory. I seemed to experience
the same problems when I tried to run 'sh Configure' in the Perl root
directory.

	Win95, with long filenames enabled.

	I have bash 1.14.7, although I was running configure.bat from the normal
MS-DOS command prompt.

	I'm using djdev201, although I can use djdev202 too. I tried compiling Perl
5.004 and 5.005, but both crashed at the same point - just after the Xenix
detection code in Configure.

	Sorry, I should have mentioned this stuff before :( I followed the other
instructions - copy/link bash.exe to sh.exe, set SHELL in djgpp.env.
