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.
