Please post the stack dump printed when it crashes.  Use the `symify' 
program to add the function names to the addresses, like so:

	symify -o emacs.crash emacs

then post the contents of the file `emacs.crash'.

I build Emacs 20.2 in the same environment (and also in plain DOS) once 
every few days, and it never crashed for me.

What versions of DJGPP (meaning djdev) and gcc are you using?  Versions 
prior to 2.01 had subtle bugs in the LFN support, and I didn't try 
building with them.  Please upgrade to the latest version and try again.

If that doesn't help, there might be some library-related problem.  (I 
build Emacs with a library where many functions are patched.)  I would 
like to see the stack dump to try to figure out which function might need 
a patch.
