Most systems that install DJGPP on local (as opposed to networked) drives 
aren't affected by this.  That's what makes it such a mystery.

Are your link times slow?  How much time does the link stage take when 
linking a trivial ``Hello world'' program?  (You can tell when the 
link stage begins by invoking gcc with -v switch and watching when it 
prints the line that calls ld.exe.)

Do you mean that if you stubedit some DJGPP programs to enlarge their
transfer buffer, they crash?  If so, please tell which programs are they. 
It is very frustrating to read a report that tells ``some programs crash,
but I won't tell you which ones''.  There might be serious bugs that wait
to be solved, but nobody can even begin looking into that unless you
provide the minimum details.  Thanks.
