  Some time ago I have problems with `less' and `emacs' crashing.
It seems that problem is in handling environment variables. After
changing environment file and DOS environment problem has gone.

  With `less' I have build debuggable version and stack traceback
shows that it crashes in getenv by SIGSEGV. But it does not crash
when run from another djgpp program like bash or redir.

  I have lost configuration that crashes `less', but I can look for
configuration where `emacs' will crash (but it is harder to debug).
