GO32: 'FILE NOT FOUND' CAUSES HANGUP


I Installed djgpp (djgcc222, djdev109 and djgas13) on my 386DX-
40MHz. It works fine except for one thing: When I type

go32 asdfghjk

(and the file asdfghjk does not exist) go32's reaction is:

c:/djgpp/bin/go32.exe version 1.09 Copyright (c) 1991 DJ Delorie
Can't open file <asdfghjk>

and my computer hangs. Only the reset button will work. If
QEMM386 is loaded, I sometimes get (a part of) the message:

QEMM386: The processor has notified QEMM that an attempt has been
made to execute an invalid instruction .....
Exception #13 at 6091:0000, error code: 0000
....

The values of the registers vary.

At first I believed this was caused by my buggy Intel (incorrect
POPAD-instruction), but another (correct) 386 and a 486 showed
the same behaviour.

Is this a bug or a feature? Is there a (well known) solution?
