OK, that at least make the problem clear: v2.0 programs work while
v2.01 programs crash.  Here's what I'd suggest to do to try to solve
this:

	1) Check your DOSEmu setup per recommendations in section 3.4
of the DJGPP FAQ.  If your setup is different from what's recommended
there, change it and see if that helps.

	2) Post here the entire message that is printed when the DJGPP
programs crash.  Maybe it includes additional info that will help to
debug this.  Specifically, it would be very important to know where
exactly the programs crash, so we would be able to tell which
operation causes this.  Running a simple program under a debugger
might be another way of gaining this info.

	3) Post a question to Linux-related forum(s).  Hopefully,
somebody there will either suggest a work-around or correct the bug.
