Hey folks.

I think I've solved my problem with GCC.  It would seem that the crashes 
(and corruption of my file system) occur only when I have the cache 
writing on smartdrive enabled.  

Thus.. if you're using the MS-DOS that comes with W95 don't enable the 
write caching in SmartDrive, or else you risk losing tons of data! (I was 
lucky because it was all backed-up... it might have been disastrous)
