It's a bug in your installation, not in DJGPP v2.  You are mixing programs
from DJGPP v1.x and v2.0.  This will never work!  The file `readme.1st'
that you get with DJGPP v2 explicitly tells you to delete all of the v1.x
programs and files and only then install v2.  In your case, coff2exe.exe
is from DJGPP v1.x, while stubify.exe and coff2exe.bat (that just calls
stubify) are from DJGPP v2.  And judging by the symptoms you describe, 
you are trying to run stubify on a program compiled with v1.x.
