I have a small suggestion of test relative to that issue, but I also have no access to win 2000 :( A friend told me that he had more problems with ld version 2.9.1 than with earlier versions (like 2.8.?), but it was on a Win98 box. So I was wondering if DJGPP programs compiled with older versions of DJGPP tools (2.01 or 2.02) also make Win 2000 crash at the third level ! Using an older make and gcc version from simtelnet should be enough to test if some recent changes in the DJGPP library might have a influence on the stability of DJGPP programs in Win 2000 OS. Eli could probably tell us which simtl version were compiled with version 2.01 and 2.02 of DJGPP tools respectively !
