Seems that You have some installation problem as Your example works Ok
with both gcc-2.8.1 and newly released beta release of DJGPP port of egcs-1.1.1
(exceptions does not work very stable with latest, so You are warned)

If You are still using DJGPP-2.01  (djdev201.zip) then please upgrade 
to 2.02.
