I've changed the subject to avoid confusion with another thread of the same

Most likely a bug in your program, that only manifests itself under certain
conditions. Try a debugger.

If it crashes in DOS but not in Windows, look especially for NULL pointer
dereferences.

It is possible that one machine has some kind of hardware failure, like bad
memory, but if it doesn't have any problems otherwise (try compiling
something large with GCC, that often triggers them), I'd doubt that.
