You need to get a good reference on protected-mode operation of the
Intel CPUs.  DJGPP doesn't define these error codes anywhere, it just
prints whatever error code happens to be pushed by the CPU onto the
stack of the exception handler.  I usually find the description of the
error codes in the following book quite satisfactory:

  "PC Magazine Programmer's Technical Reference: The Processor and
  Coprocessor", by Robert L. Hummel, Ziff-Davis Press (1992), 
  ISBN 1-56276-016-5

The information you are looking for is on pages 158-159 and 168-170
(so it's more than a simple list of error codes, as you see).
