Check your automatic variables.  DJGPP programs have a 256KB stack (512KB 
if you use DJGPP v2.02).  If you define a large array that is declared 
inside one of the functions, including in the `main' function, when that 
array is allocated, it blows the stack.

See section 15.9 of the FAQ for more details.
