Subject: Segment error during compile!
To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu

I'm not happy about this at all.. As a result of a 'problem' with my harddisk
I lost my djgpp compiler and everything that comes with it, and had to
install the new version (I still used 1.10, no problems _at all_).
Now I thought I had everything working, I've got 1.11 installed, including
maint1,2 and 3, but when I tried to compile one of the programs I was working
on earlier, (not very big, some 1500 line), I got the following output:
(You'll notice that I cut off the first part. The end is intact though)

As far as I could see, the only thing that differs between several tries is
the value of the pointer, but other than that, very similar.

Now what's this? The good news is, it doesn't happen every time, but the bad
news is, I can't figure out when it does happen! Sometimes (compiling the
same program) it does, sometimes it doesn't. I didn't get a CRC error when
unzipping, so I assume my compiler is 'correct'. Any ideas?
As an aside: is the old version still available somewhere? I might want to
go back to it.

Greetings,
