I don't know how it would work if your program compiled under V1, but
here's what I do know:

When you have a line like this "char MyArray[20000000];", DJGPP will
attempt to allocate the array, but if you use implicit allocation(ie, not
using malloc or an equilavent) DJGPP won't make your program crash. So, use
malloc and test the results.
