This most bogus exception is coming from deep within the bowels of QDPMI,
and is a QDPMI bug.  I have seen it before on my copy of QDPMI, but very
rarely (never reproduceable).  If yours is reproducible, and you have some
QEMM 7.X flavor, check out ftp.qdeck.com:/pub/qemm/patch directory for 
fixes (some of which have been found to fix QDPMI bugginess with DJGPP).

Its very different, its used to generate the stub and some other 16-bit
code, and uses a tcc/masm-like (but different) syntax.  It generates a .exe
(or include file) directly from the source, all source must be in one file.
Since it's used by a very small group of developers, the only documentation
is the source.  Look for all of the *.asm files in the djlsr200.zip - they
are all assembled with djasm and are the only examples I know of available.
