I submit that this is a wrong guess.  There are no incompatibilities 
between DJGPP programs and Win32 programs invoked by them.  Many users do 
just that every day with no visible problems.  In fact, even COMMAND.COM 
that comes with Windows is a Win32 console application in disguise, so 
any incompatibility should make it impossible to shell out to DOS from 
DJGPP programs, which isn't happening.

Most probably, there's some bug in your program that you should debug.
