About Vista: undocumented M$ register fix work OK immediately after
applying (one needs SP1 or later for that). I set DPMI memory to 2Gb and
seems to work (on laptop which has 4Gb). The last DJGPP builds of GCC
for DJGPP are built there (under Vista).
The problem is (also under XP) that DJGPP port of bash-2.05b is broken.
The source of problems (why we did not see that earlier so much) is that
current configuration scripts perhaps use more bash features and
something is broken. I myself have no time to try to fix it. bash-2.04
binary from current/v2gnu works better.
I haven't really even tried Windows 7.
