Hi, workers,

My GCC 2.95 crashed again. I tested all my memory very thoroughly,
under DOS and Linux and irrespective of both using memtest (?), so
that is not the problem. It might be my CPU or motherboard, I'm not
sure how to test those. When I try to compiling Emacs-20.4, the
following happens:

ls -l j:/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.95/cc1.exe
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mdruiter root      1861026 Jul 15 01:09
j:/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.95/cc1.exe

make install
...
gcc -c  -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -I.             -O2 -gcoff w16select.c

I do not have the any gcc sources, but I doubt they would help a lot.

If I type `make w16select.o' after the crash, or just `make', gcc does
*not* crash on w16select.c any more, and the build succeeds. The crash
only happens when I run `make' from start. This makes it very hard to
track down the precise problem.

If I change the maximum size of virtual memory using cwsparam, the
crash goes away in this particular case. I did *not* set up cwsdpmi to
use near 255Mb, having heard about some bugs.

It must be something particular to my setup. I run MS-DOS 7.10 (Win98
without GUI) with cwsdpmi-r4.

If anyone has a vague guess or idea of what might be going on, please
help.

Groeten, Michel.
