Hi,
	This may not be a dgjpp problem at all but I'm unsure.

	I have some code that I'm porting to djgpp from Watcom (I believe).

	It contains assembler files that we have converted using an
	awk-script that was posted here.  Followed by manual editting 'cos
	the script was not perfect.

	I've ironed out a few oddities/errors/mis-matches and got the
	program to the point where it will compile and run.  I've even
	located the first few bugs and corrected them.

	***BUT***

	I now have a crash that only happens when I'm not using the
	debugger !

	It seems to happen after the program exits when I run the executable
	but does not happen if I run it under edubug32.  I know about the old
	chestnut where you accidentally make main() return a struct and it
	isn't that.

	Any suggestions of the sort of thing it could be ?

	Stack Corruption ?  Heap Corruption ?  DPMI getting screwwed up ?

	Any help appreciated,


	Badders


p.s:	I'm well aware that partially converted asm could contain *ANY*
	kind of wiiiiierdness.
