What's wrong with 0xfdbc?  As long as you get a number less than
0xffff, you shouldn't suspect a trouble.

If your code crashes, it's possible that the reason for the crashes
is something else.  The DJGPP FAQ tells in section 12.2 how to begin
debugging your problem using the crash message printed by the program
when it dies.
