I'm learning C now and use DJGPP as the compiler for
the exercises I do. Everything went fine until I go to
array. 

I compiled the exercise using "gcc -o ex4.exe ex4.c".
The compiler reported no error found. But when I run
the executable, (both under the win95 dos box and real
dos 6.20 with cwsdpmi), I got the following runtime error:

======================================================

The program I wrote for exercise is really really simple.
I don't understand why I got such an error. I did a search
in the faq that came with the package for SIGSEGV, but what
I found didn't solve my problem. The DJGPP I used is 2.01

Please help.

Thanks!!
