Hi,

I need to access a binary file which has been loaded into memory. When
references to data is made in the code, using pointers to structures DJGPP
v2 exits without crashing with the error message:

  Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV

 General protection fault at eip=000017d2
.....

Call frame traceback EIPs:

   0x000017d2
   0x000016ba
   0x0000155a
   0x00001d13

Can anybody help with this or suggest a way to get around it?
I did think it was something to do with far pointers but don`t know how
they work.
