Your test program produced the desired output on my system when run from
a Windows 95 DOS shell, with ERROR=1 and ERROR=0.  It compiled without
warnings or errors.  Do you have the latest DJGPP libc?  Tom Demmer
maintains a patched libc.a on his ftp site: 
ftp://ftp.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/pub/djgpp/patches/.  Try using this to
see if it changes the program's behavior.

I'll test it on a plain DOS box tonight to see if there's any change.

Can you run other DJGPP programs without difficulty?
