	Try posting the source code, describing your DJGPP set-up, etc.
It's almost impossible to tell what is wrong with no information about the
program.

	IIRC there may be problems with using bash as your shell rather
than command.com, i.e. if you set "SHELL=<blah>" in autoexec.bat. The
solution to this is to run bash from a command.com shell.
