My first guess would be insufficient stack size.  Try bumping up the 
maximum stack size of cc1.exe, like this:

	stubedit d:/djgpp/bin/cc1.exe minstack=1536k

then see if the problem goes away.  If not, try enlarging the stack to 
4MB.  If that doesn't help either, then the stack isn't the problem.

Either way, watch closely if the crash traceback changes when you enlarge 
the stack.  If it does, it might reveal the *real* reason for the crashes 
(even if enlarging the stack doesn't solve it), so post the traceback 
again if you cannot figure out what's wrong.
