Subject: Catastrophic problems with djgpp v. 1.12



Hello experts!

Using djgpp 1.12 WITHOUT dpmi (in the same environment that is ok
with v. 1.11m5, e.g. XMS V3.07 from win 3.1) shows catastrophic
problems, although tiny test programs like test\t*.bat seem
to work.

Using make to rebuild e.g. bison, make or cc1 crashes the system
without any error message.

When using dpmi from win 3.1 msdos box, that problem disappears, but
some large applications still get pointer exception errors from
malloc+200.

I had described those problems to DJ in mai, but unfortunately he 
wasn't helpfull at all ;((

Has anybody ever sucessfully built large applications calling malloc
for sizes of >32K ??

Please report your experience by email because I do not get the listserv
mail.

Thanks and regards!
