So symify itself crashed.  You should have simply said that in the
first place.

This is a known problem in stock version of symify shipped with all
versions of DJGPP up to and including v2.03: some programs cause it to
crash.  This was a very elusive bug, but it was finally solved
recently.

I have made a patched version of symify.exe avaiable for anon ftp
here:

  ftp://is.elta.co.il/pub/symify.exe

Please see if this version makes the problem go away.
