Ben,

thanks for trying to reproduce this.

I run Win2K and my swapfile sits on C: in the default location. The C: drive
is also where my DJGPP environment and sources are so it's alive when I
start my program. The identical program compiled with MinGW does not have
the same effect as when I compile it with DJGPP. So it could be a Win2K bug
but one that only DJGPP exposes.
