Here the results for the runs with the DEBUG flag set to 1.

I get many conversion warnings at compilation time. I guess most 
warnings are ok except for this:
"malloc.c:353: warning: unknown conversion type character `,' in format
malloc.c:353: warning: unsigned int format, pointer arg (arg 6)
malloc.c:353: warning: too many arguments for format"
I just added an 'x' after %08x->%08 to get rid of this.

Notice the bizarre 'program' value. This is the same run under GDB:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x000ca7e1 in _doprnt ()
(gdb) backtrace
#0  0x000ca7e1 in _doprnt ()
Cannot access memory at address 0x804

Under plain dos I had (leaving out trailing zeroes):
a GPF at eip=bd63f; flags=3016
eax=0 ebx=123 ecx=4000 edx=0 esi=16 edi=8fc ebp=d esp=1684d8

!
Running gdb under plain dos resulted in the same segmentation fault 
crash as above, with the same address.

This is what I got under plain dos with the DEBUG flag set to 0:

The last 2 times I ran the prog in plain dos under gdb, it froze. Ctrl+c 
didn't solve anything, I had to reboot.

Do you think it would be a good or a bad idea to try the malloc_debug 
functions in the nmalloc package that I found under the alpha 
distribution info for djdev?

Sorry that I channel all this material through the djgpp mailing list. I 
have some problems posting on the newsgroup. (Seems I didn't sacrifice 
enough to the gods of the digital age huh.)

Thanks,
