Dear djgpp guru:

Hello - my name is Derek Gordon, and I have been using the djgpp compiler
for some time now. A few days ago, a colleague asked me to recompile a 
c program using some new ( and larger) program constants. I did so - the
name of the program is makeped.c, and so I typed

gcc makeped.c -o makeped.exe

The program compiled ok. The executable "makeped" has a command line flag,
"n" which refers to loops in a pedigree. When I run the program with "n"
flag, I get no errors - the program runs fine. When I run without the
flag, I receive the following error (even though the desired output file
is produced):

General Protection Fault at eip=00004f4c
eax=00000000 ebx=00069200 ecx=00088000 etc.


What is the source of this error? How may I correct it?

Thanks very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Derek Gordon
