Charles has produced a patch file for the 2.03 DJGPP LIBC source that is at
Simtel that updates the LIBC to be compatible with 2K and XP and fix some of
the nasty bugs. The resulting exe files aren compatible with 2K and XP and
the existing 2.03 files. The patch has been used by Andris in producing the
3.02 compiler.

The patch is available from the following URL:
http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/win2000_patches/commited_patches/

A BIG side affect of this patch is that the DPMI selector leaks are fixed.
