Perhaps You can complain Micro$oft that only 64MB are available for DOS 
session. Try quitting Windows and using CWSDPMI and have enough swap 
space on HD. Your example really eats much memory. I tested this with 
pgcc-1.0.2 under Linux. As I tested that the maximal amount was about 
30Mb. Perhaps DJGPP version of gcc eats more...
