The last problem seems to indicate that you are still running the old
1.12m3 version, right?  Then you might be a victim of the bug there
which raised its ugly head when working under XMS, like HIMEM.SYS.  Try
booting your machine with EMM386 or QEMM386 installed instead of HIMEM,
then re-install the latest gcc263bn.zip and dj112m4.zip files, *then*
try again with your original configuration and see if your problem went
away.

In any case, it will help if you post your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and
other pieces of information about your system, as described in the DJGPP
FAQ list, section 6.10.  You can get the latest version of the FAQ as
faqNNN.zip from the same place you got DJGPP (where NNN is the revision
number).
