I'm wondering that myself.  No, I didn't use bash.  The environment
variable is clearly
affected, but GCC ran fine nevertheless.  Oh well, it's now fixed.

I found that too.  It's because the initialization is done in a
constructor and I can't ensure that it's the first constructor to run. 
I tried forcing my code to be linked first; that makes my destructor
first, not last.  Can't win :)

So what I need is some way to get my code run first and last.  Any
ideas?

Now *that* I haven't seen.

I did change a couple of other things for 0.22 (just uploaded) that
could theoretically be related, but I'm pretty sure in real life they
aren't.

Is it my traceback or the standard DJGPP one that loops?

Maybe you could grab 0.22 and do it again, and then send me the output
(symified with `symify' or `do-syms' as appropriate, if possible). 
Thanks.
