I just finished my first program with DJGPP, it does not much more than
calculate a few entries in an array off two other arrays. It compiles and
links without errors, however when I run the EXE-file, I get the following :

-------------------------------------------------------------
Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
Page fault at eip = 000019d3, error = 0006

edx = 00010f60  esi = 00000054  edi = 00043560

And now for the funny thing. This error happens always when the EXE is
executed from the DOS-Prompt of Win98SE-Dos Box. When I launch it from RHIDE
(started in Win98SE-Dos Box) it sometimes works just fine, and sometimes
gives me out the same error as above. In DOS-Mode of Win98SE however the
program works out just fine without any errors. Now I'm curious if somebody
can tell me what this error means and if somebody can find an explanation
why it does work sometimes and sometimes not.
