Please download the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq211b.zip from the same
place you got DJGPP), and read section 12.2 there.  It explains how to
use the information printed when your program crashes to find out the
place of the bug, and how to begin debugging your program using that
information.

In addition, check out the MSS library (v2tk/mss*.zip) which is a
library for debugging memory-allocation problems.
