I'm guessing that you are using an old version of DJGPP, like v2.01.
That version had a bug in the library function that gets linked into
your application under -pg, and that bug could easily produce the
effects you are describing.  See section 13.2 of the DJGPP FAQ, for
more details.

The solution is to upgrade to DJGPP v2.03.

If you already use v2.03, please report the details of your system
hardware and software.  I don't think I've seen any similar problems
reported here about v2.03.

What version of Binutils do you use, btw?  What does "gprof --version"
print?
