When it crashes with SIGSEGV, you get a traceback.  Run SYMIFY on that 
traceback, and it will add the file names and line numbers to that 
traceback.  This traceback explains you where exactly the trouble 
happened.  You should then run your program under a debugger near that 
point and find the bug(s).

More about this is explained in the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip from 
the usual DJGPP sites), in section 9.2.
