No, that's a problem of some Windows 95 DOS boxes. They have problems 
with the __dpmi_yield included in djgpp v2.01. 
In these machines (I have one) when you call another djgpp program 
and it returns to RHIDE then RHIDE hangs. It happends with any djgpp 
program that calls other djgpp program and after returning calls 
__dpmi_yield.
I linked my editor with the new __dpmi_yield routine (posted by Eli
to djgpp-workers) and all works ok now.
Again: that's a problem with some strange W95 installations. We don't 
know what's different or how to identify these machines.
If I remmember well the problem was detected in bash.
