I think Eli's right on this.  See:

  http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/DJGPP_W2K.htm           (Known Problems)
  http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/W2K_workaround.htm      (Workarounds)

Look at the date on your .EXE images - anything dated before December 2001
(or built with a libc from a V2.03 released before that date) may not 
work with the Win2K bugs.  (You can check the libc ident in the image
to be sure).

If you can't rebuild the image, you can use the long file name TSR to
work around the bug.  

Make sure you have updated your djdev203.zip to the most recent version.
