I've seen enough of these kinds of questions that it occurs to me that it might be valuable for someone to put together a guide to understand the error dumps that DJGPP spits out when it crashes; if understood properly, they would tend to help narrow the problem area down a great deal. Unfortunately, most people just aren't used to the error dumps that DJGPP puts out.
