Doesn't sound like it.

Definitly sounds like some screw up. Some things to check:-
1) Check all of your environemnt variables. Simple way to do this is
to create a batch file that removes all of the ones not needed, easier
said than done. May be one of the environment variables is causing a
probelm.
2) Check the dates of the files in the include and lib\gcc-lib
directory and sub-directories.
3) Check the dates on the files in the bin directory.
4) Check you have enough free space on the drive.
5) Run a checkdisk on the drive to see if there are any errors
6) Boot into dos and try it. If it works then there is something in
Windows (remember to try 1 in windows)
7) Check the mail archive at www.delorie.com to see if anyone else has
come accross this.

From what you have indicated the files should have a date of 2002 in
the DJGPP directories (if you have not modified them since you
installed them a year ago).

BTW most of the programs you have are old. The latest releases are:-
	Rhide is 1.5.0.1  - www.rhide.com in the snapshot area
	GCC is 3.2.3 - www.delorie.com and select the zip picker
	DJGPP 2.03 DJ*203.ZIP files from Aug 2002
