Thanks for this important information.

Many similar reports were posted about using Make.  Could you check if
Make crashes NTVDM only if the compiler is invoked from Make?

Every DJGPP program opens at least one file: DJGPP.ENV.  So this
probably isn't the reason for the crashes.

GCC is special in that it itself runs DJGPP programs.  Perhaps you
need deeper nesting of DJGPP programs to cause NTVDM to crash.  For
example, what if you invoke Bash from Make and then invoke ls from
that Bash?

Another possibility is that applications which *write* to files are
those in trouble (if file access is at all the problem, which I
doubt, frankly).
