Compile your program with -g switch.  Then re-run it to get the above 
traceback.  Now, while the traceback is still on screen, type the 
following words of wisdom:

	symify printit

The little wonder called `symify' will magically put the source file 
names and line numbers near each of the addresses in the traceback.  You 
will then see what source line of your program caused the error.

Compiling with -g will also help you run under the debugger.  You will be 
able to step through source lines, print variables and otherwise make a 
nuisance out of yourself.

There are more details on this in the DJGPP FAQ list, section 9.2 and
chapter 12, which I suggest you read.  The FAQ is available as
v2/faq200b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP.
