I've seen enough of these kinds of questions that it occurs to me that it
might be valuable for someone to put together a guide to understand the error
dumps that DJGPP spits out when it crashes; if understood properly, they would
tend to help narrow the problem area down a great deal.  Unfortunately, most
people just aren't used to the error dumps that DJGPP puts out.

Has anyone done something like this?
