This was submitted as a bug report to the DJGPP bug-tracking facility 
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/bugs/).

Please note that controversial reports such as this one, where it's not
clear whether the bug is in DJGPP or in the target platform, should be
posted to the DJGPP forum (comp.os.msdos.djgpp) instead of being filed
with the above site, because most of the time these are not DJGPP bugs.

I cannot reproduce this on NT 4 SP4 and SP5: the program runs as expected,
producing the 5 lines above.  I don't have access to SP6, though.  Can
someone who has access to SP6 test this and report the results? 

My guess would be that this is due to some setup specific to your system 
(is it possible that 'check' is a name of some command on that machine?).
