I had a similar problem with a PII-233 machine (Dell). Everything
compiled with djgpp crashed (hung, computer not responding, no output
from program at all), even compiler and every other djgpp-made tools.
This occured when starting W95 with "Command prompt only". Never in W95
with GUI..

It turned out that the PNP driver for the soundcard (TurleBeach Montego)
and djgpp didn't like eachother. In other words, removing the driver
fixed the problem.. Very strange because the driver was loaded in W95
with GUI and it worked then... hm..

Can this information help you perhaps?
