I upgraded my system to DJGPP ver 2.03 on my desktop and laptop.
It works fine on my desktop, but I have problem with bash on my laptop.
The environment variables and my DJGPP directory on both the computers
are same.  The laptop works fine with previous version of bash. 

The DJGPP ver 2.03 is a new install. I wiped out the old DJGPP directory
and re-installed newer version.

This is what I get when I execute bash.

symify -i does not give much information.

The same bash program when executed for version number does not crash ?

C:\usr\shankar>bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.04.7(2)-release
(i386-pc-msdosdjgpp)
Copyright 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

It does not crash for bash --help either. Any help will be appriciated
