Thanks to all who responded.  I have finally solved the problem with the
help of the good Mr. Delorie himself.  (Many thanks).

I don't know if it is common knowledge or not so I will close the loop by 
explaining what exactly was going wrong.

It seems that there are 2 copies of the bnu22bn.zip file floating around.  
The
copy that I originally got from wuarchive.wustl.edu was the binary 
utilities for
DJGPP 1.10.  The copy on oak.oakland.edu was the newer version for DJGPP
1.11.  Apparently these two versions are incompatible.  When I took a 
close look
at the zip files I could see that, yes indeed, they were different sizes.  
I'm not sure
what makes them incompatible, however.

Anyway, that was the problem.  It has been solved.  (In my case at least).  
It does
raise a question, however.  Are there any more incompatible files on 
wuarchive.
If so, which ones.  I ran all the tests in the 'tests' subdirectory and 
everything seems to be working just fine so I assume that there are no 
problems.  I might still
have a few surprises waiting for me, though.

Oh, well.  Thanks again to all who responded.

Mark.
