The tracebacks indicate that you are using DJGPP v2.01.  Please
upgrade to v2.02 and see if the problem is solved there.

If the problem persists in v2.02, please make a zip file with the
binary of your program and make it available somewhere for
downloading.  I suspect that the crashes are due to the long lines in
the traceback, but it is impossible to verify this without having the
actual program that triggers the problem.
