It is in HTML.

This is normal.

So it appears that the problem only happens when cpp is iunvoked by gcc...
Weird.  I'm really stumped by this one.

This is normal: the shell is a Windows program, so it can access long

truncated (which is okay) or have numeric tails attached (which means you 
will need to reinstall DJGPP again using another unzip program).
