I am not sure if this is a bug in vim, bash or most likely windows.
However the crashes occur when I use djgpp vim with djgpp bash.  Say, I
have a junk.bat file of 10 "vim -c q" lines.  If I run it under
command.com, it works, but "source junk.bat" in djgpp bash would freeze
the system.  If I used win32 console version of vim, it would work in
both cases.  I cannot provide any crash message, since the system gets
completely frozen.
