Ignore my previous message.  The *real* reason for your problem is much 
worse: it isn't supposed to work, like the FAQ explains:

11.3  Q: I installed the emulator as required in the Installation
         procedure, but I get General Protection Fault when I try running
         floating-point programs.
      A: Do you run DJGPP in DPMI mode, like under Windows or in OS/2 DOS
         box?  The emulator currently doesn't work under DPMI.  If you can
         put the ``nodpmi'' parameter into your GO32 environment variable
         and still run DJGPP, that's what you should do; if not, you will
         have to wait until v2.0 of DJGPP is available, or try running
         DJGPP with the RSX extender instead of go32

You *can't* work with ``nodpmi'' because DPMI is the only way to go under 
Windows.  In v2.0 this is taken care of.
