Please read the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq200b.zip from the same place you 
got DJGPP).  It explains in section 15.8 that DJGPP programs by default 
have a 256KByte-long stack.  Your program defines a variable that takes 
800x800x4 = 2.56MBytes of stack, i.e. 10 times that much.  To use such 
large automatic variables, you should change the default stack size as 
explained in the FAQ.  A simpler solution would be to declare t[][] 
outside `main', which will make it static.
