AFAIK, there is no way to do that.  I think you are talking about 
Linux-specific ls with color support, which is not the same as ls from 
GNU Fileutils.
s option the program runs fine with DJGPP 2.01.

How much memory does your program need and how much free DPMI memory do 
you have on your machine?  (v2.01 might need more memory than v2.0, and 
since profiling code is in locked memory, your program might start paging 
when compiled with -pg.)

If the above doesn't solve the mystery, please tell more about what your 
program does, and try to reproduce this problem with the smalles program 
that you can come up with (which can be posted here).
