Do you install QDPMI from QEMM?  If you do, you should know that it has 
many problems in that version of QEMM (some of them are described in the 
DJGPP FAQ list, get faq200b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP).  
Either upgrade to QEMM 8, or uninstall QDPMI, or just disable it before 
you run DJGPP programs.  Again, the FAQ describes how, if you don't know.

Launch the PIF editor and open the file `dosprmpt.pif'.  Set the EMS and
XMS maximum values to -1.  Then try again.  If that doesn't help, post the
exact output of go32-v2 before you start and after each compilation, until
it dies.
