Are you sure that ``something'' isn't Windows 95 itself?  There is a 
nasty bug in Windows 95 RenameFile function whereby sometimes the long 
filename changes, but the short 8+3 filename does not!  Therefore, as far 
as Windows 95 is concerned, the file was effectively not renamed.  This 
only happens for certain filenames, but maybe *.exe0 is just one of these 
names?  Please try renaming the files again and compare the short 8+3 
filenames before and after the rename.

Anyway, since the filenames that the compiler generates in your case are 
well within 8+3 DOS limits, I think this problem cannot be in any way 
connected with LFN support in DJGPP v2.01.
