That's expected: the debug info only bloats the .exe file on the disk,
but does not affect in any way how the code is layed out in memory.

No, the same .exe file is produced and runs on all supported opertaing
systems.

However, since you mentioned XP, is it possible that your program
crashes because of some known problem with XP related to DJGPP?  Are
you using the latest djdev203.zip?  And what is the exact code
fragment where it crashes?
