Most systems that install DJGPP on local (as opposed to networked) drives aren't affected by this. That's what makes it such a mystery. Are your link times slow? How much time does the link stage take when linking a trivial ``Hello world'' program? (You can tell when the link stage begins by invoking gcc with -v switch and watching when it prints the line that calls ld.exe.) > Actually, increasing the size of the buffer > crashes some of the other DJGPP programs (don't remember which ones > offhand). Still, every little bit helps. Do you mean that if you stubedit some DJGPP programs to enlarge their transfer buffer, they crash? If so, please tell which programs are they. It is very frustrating to read a report that tells ``some programs crash, but I won't tell you which ones''. There might be serious bugs that wait to be solved, but nobody can even begin looking into that unless you provide the minimum details. Thanks.
