I am running DJGPP v2.01 on a Pentium 90 computer with 32 MB of RAM, IBM
PC-DOS 6.30, HIMEM.SYS, the Norton Cache, v6.01, but no EMM386, QEMM, or
Windows.
Every few days, the compiler crashes for no apparent reason. The last
time it crashed I transcribed the dump:
General Protection Fault in RMCB at eip=00000e45; flags=12
eax=20 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000008 edx=00000000 esi=0001c69e edi=d80000c1

The keyboard locks up, necessitating a hard boot, but the cache continues
to commit after the dump, and I have never observed any more serious
damage to the hard drive contents besides an occasional lost cluster. I
have never observed this type of crash for any of my own apps compiled
under DJGPP.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this problem? I have not been able
to identify any cause, because of the infrequency of the problem, but I
suspect that typing ahead during the compilation may have something to do
with it. The problem seems to have nothing to do with the size or type of
file I am compiling.
There was some newgroup discussion about this problem last fall that I
didn't understand very well -- something about not unhooking interrupt
handlers -- but the compiler itself is crashing, not my program, so I'm at
a loss as to what to do.
