This is an old version of GCC.  The latest binaries should be dated
22 October 1998.  Please download the latest GCC distribution and see if 
that solves the problem.

Are you sure?  How exactly did you test this?

I cannot think of any way that v2.02 could break GCC.  My guess about LFN 
was based on a hunch that you have used v2.01 with LFN disabled, since 
djgpp.env from v2.01 disables it.  The only file, except djgpp.env, that 
GCC reads and that comes with djdev202 is lib/specs, and you already 
tried to rename it.  You also tried to rename djgpp.env.

So I don't understand how can the same binary (gcc.exe) under the same
circumstances (LFN=y) sometimes crash and sometimes not, depending on 
whether it's v2.01 or v2.02, when all files that can affect it were 
tested one by one and proved to be not the reason.  Anybody?

Maybe if you explain how exactly did you switch from v2.01 to v2.02 and 
back while testing this problem, somebody could come up with an idea?

Right now, it is more important to understand what is the cause of the 
crash.  Only then we could decide whether the version of your OS is 
relevant.
