The latter, I guess.  Can you post a SYMIFY'ed traceback of such a
crash?  Also, what happens if you boot into plain DOS (by holding F8
or F2 during startup), and then run your program? does it crash, and
if so, what gets printed when it does?

(To run a DJGPP program on plain DOS, you will need to make sure you
have CWSDPMI installed.)
