There's a known bug in CWSDPMI which will die a horrible death if
you've allocate a large number of 'small' allocations because it runs
out of heap.

If you're not using CWSDPMI (e.g. you're running in a Windows dos box,
or the like) then just forget I mentioned it.

OTOH if you ARE running CWSDPMI, you ought to get the newest version
(recently released) which you should be able to find on all the sites
that carry the DJGPP V2 package. By default it has had the heap size
increased so you're less likely to hit this problem, and also it comes
with a tool that can be used to modify it's internal parameters, including
the heap size.
