  Based on the registers dumps, the problem seems to be related with
your stack pointer/frame pointer:
 - Under DOS, esp = e3279, ebp = ff;
 - Under NT,  esp = e029b, ebp = e53
It seems like:
  a. Your stack is growing up, which should be problematic since
     GCC expects the stack to grow down.
  b. You've overflowed the stack somehow.
  c. You're messing with the stack pointer (probably by writing values
     to areas on the stack.)
In addition, since ss == ds in both cases, it's possible that return
address, flags, etc. have been trashed.

It looks like the code is using some kind of uninitialized variable,
try to compile with -Wall -Werror and see what'll happen.

Hope that helps,
Long.
