Ignore my previous message. The *real* reason for your problem is much worse: it isn't supposed to work, like the FAQ explains: 11.3 Q: I installed the emulator as required in the Installation procedure, but I get General Protection Fault when I try running floating-point programs. A: Do you run DJGPP in DPMI mode, like under Windows or in OS/2 DOS box? The emulator currently doesn't work under DPMI. If you can put the ``nodpmi'' parameter into your GO32 environment variable and still run DJGPP, that's what you should do; if not, you will have to wait until v2.0 of DJGPP is available, or try running DJGPP with the RSX extender instead of go32 You *can't* work with ``nodpmi'' because DPMI is the only way to go under Windows. In v2.0 this is taken care of.
