I recently installed DJGPP (the EZ-GCC version) on my Cyrix based Win95
machine and everything seems to be fine. GCC reports any errors finding
files, problems with the source, etc. and generates the exe file I
specify. However, every time I try to run the compiled program (from a
DOS box or in straight DOS mode), a fatal exception is generated or my
machine simply locks up. The file I am trying to compile consists simply
of

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("Hello world\");
}

and my command line is:

gcc -o junk.exe junk.c

When I run junk.exe, my machine locks up. What's wrong here?
