The first thing to do is to use the `symify' program to translate the 
stack traceback into a human-readable description that points to the 
source file and line number where the program crashes.  Did you try 
this?  (Details are in section 9.2 of the DJGPP FAQ list).

If you did try this, then you should know more about the crashes.  In 
particular:

	1) When it does crash, is it always in the same place(s)?
	2) If the answer to 1) is YES, what does the code which crashes 
	   do?
