One more suggestion is to get executable of patched version of
1.4.1 I have on my homepage and test if this version also crashes. I fixed 
there some problems that are not yet fixed in 1.4.5. I myself transfered changes to 1.4.5 and built it for
DJGPP using also sources of gdb-4.16 but perhaps currently it's better
to use previous version for such test.

With original 1.4 for DJGPP (and 1.4.1 for Linux) I got various crashes
(maybe not exactly similar as Your one, but consequences of corrupting
memory cannot be predicted, especially on a different system)

If this helps it's possible to go to 1.4.5, but some patches may be
needed.
