Please always post here the exact crash message, with registers "and
all the other stuff", when you report such problems.  The information
there is very important for efficient identification of the cause(s)
for your problem.

If this is inside a function (not a global variable), you are
overflowing the run-time stack.  See section 15.9 of the DJGPP FAQ
list, for more about this.  That section also explains how to solve
these problems.
