Please make a point of posting the crash message with the stack
traceback whenever you report such problems.  Please run SYMIFY on the
traceback before posting it, so that function names are seen instead
of hex addresses (see section 9.2 of the FAQ if you don't know what
SYMIFY is).

The crash message printed by DJGPP programs includes important clues
as to the reason(s) of the trouble; people who know how to read that
information can do much better in helping you to identify and correct
the cause of the crashes when they see the traceback.  Section 12.2 of
the FAQ reveals some of the techniques of putting the traceback
information to good use.
