Did you try to tell DJGPP to not use DPMI?  If not, type this from the 
DOS prompt (or add it to your AUTOEXEC.BAT):

	set GO32=nodpmi

(if your GO32 variable is already set to some value, just append 
``nodpmi'' to it.)  Then try again and see if it helps.

If that doesn't help, you will have to investigate further and supply 
more info about under what circumstances does it crash your system.  
Also, please run go32 with no arguments and post everything it prints.

FYI, DJGPP v1.12m2 is a fairly old release, and is currently unsupported 
(i.e., if what you see is really a bug for which there is no work-around, 
you are on your own).  You will be much better off if you upgrade to the 
current version 2.0, but I'm not sure if you will find a 68k cross-
compiler ported to that version.
