I have a really strange problem. I have bash up and running in WINDOZE
4.1 (98). Other commands seem to be working but when I try to start
emacs some seconds pass and then I get back the bash prompt. Ehhh?

The DJGPP directory is mounted from a samba server read-only on P:

Here's the output from go32-v2.exe:
----- go32-v2 output start. -----
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2
binaries as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in
your PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this
one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

----- go32-v2 output end. -----

Here's the output from "set" in bash:

Any ideas?
