The exit code is trying to access a bad pointer (0x10), probably in the cleanup
of closing handles, doing atexit routines, etc.  The exception handler 
is from CWSDPMI, so it's happened AFTER the DJGPP code has unhooked it's
exception handler.  You have a bug in your program - you are overwriting
memory that the libc routines use in cleanup.

Bad pointers, use of uninitialized variables (especially pointers).
