I've downloaded it. Bash works fine if I boot into plain dos.

Good guess! :)

Exactly!

If I invoke COMMAND.COM from Bash, everything works well (I can run as
many DJGPP programs as I want). Nevertheless, as soon as I exit the DOS
shell and come back to Bash everything is freezed.

If I run go32-v2 from bash I get

D:\ph>bash
bash$ go32-v2
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries
as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your
PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

DPMI memory available: 21383 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 6705 Kb


And if I run go32-v2 after exiting Bash (with CTRL+BREAK) I get

D:\ph>go32-v2
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23

I've done it, but the problem's still here...

Martin Stromberg may have one. Meanwhile I still try to compile Bash (do
not work with default makefile): I guess the
makefiles were developped under Unix (or Linux) as some "littles things"
do not work: for instance main makefile try to create a ".notified" file
using "touch .notified" which do not seam to work under windows95 (would
be better with a "_notified" file I guess).

Here is my config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=CC00-CFFF
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=033,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

Now, my autoexec.bat (call profile.bat given below):

SET DMIDIR=C:\DMI
SET TZ=cst6cdt
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g

set pctcp=C:\IEXPLORE\pctcp.shv
F:

mode con codepage select=850
keyb fr,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

rem  ---- set by ph ---- set own environement
call d:\ph\profile.bat


Profile.bat file (as promised):

rem /*

rem  *
rem  * Called by autoexec.bat to set own dos environement.
rem  * ph - 22/11/97
rem  */

set HOME=d:\ph

rem ----------- DJGPP ----------
set PATH=%path%;%HOME%\bin\bin\djgpp\bin
set DJGPP=%HOME%\bin\bin\djgpp\djgpp.env

And finally the output of the set command:

That's all! Hope you'll have an idea and thank you for you help.
