That output may say a lot to an NT guru, but otherwise is quite useless.
Did you try to redirect stderr of your program to a file?  Try this:

	redir -o bug.log -eo ...

Put the name of your program and any arguments it needs instead of the 
dots.  Then examine the contents of the file bug.log.  If you are lucky, 
it should include a full DJGPP crash traceback, which you can then submit 
to `symify', and begin debugging from there (check out section 9.2 of the 
DJGPP FAQ list if words like `symify' and `traceback' don't mean anything 
to you).
