I have accidentally found the following bug in djgpp: 
If you declare the same global (not static) variable in two different C
files, the compiler doesn't tell you anything (not even a warning).
However, it allocates the same space for the two definitions.  

I guess that this is a problem of the COFF format (that djgpp uses) and
the way this format handles global variables.
