Note that this mentions e:\djgpp\bin three times, the first one
correctly, the other two times incorrectly (with forward slashes).  I
don't think this will solve your problem, but I suggest to fix that
anyway.

v2.8.1 is a _terribly_ ancient version of GCC.  The current version is
2.95.3, with version 3.0 almost ready.  Please upgrade.

This is a known problem with Windows 2000 (and, to a lesser extent,
with NT4): some system configurations crash in the way you see.  We
are working on a cure, but it will take time.

Windows 2000 is not a recommended platform for using DJGPP, at this
time.  There are a number of nasty problems, in addition to this one.
Try to switch to Windows 9X or Windows ME, if you can.
