Your program tried to access memory via an uninitialized pointer, and
CWSDPMI, the DPMI server used on DOS, aborted it.

See section 12.2 of the DJGPP FAQ list for more about this.  That
section also explains how to use the crash message to debug the
problem.

The pointer alim has the garbled value.  Look at it under a debugger,
and you will see what's wrong.

The DPMI server built into Windows doesn't support the feature
required to catch invalid pointers.  The bug still exists, you just
don't see it on Windows.
