Well, not annoyed, just curious. I'll try to intercept the DOS-calls and investigate the 'problem' some more. : Btw, does this happen with `ld' only, or with other DJGPP programs as : well? As far as I know, it only happens with `ld'. I don't use _every_ DJGPP program regularly, but I am quite sure `ld' is the only one.
