This means that your program attempted to write to a memory location that 
is not valid.  For example, like this:

	*ptr = 1;

where ptr is a pointer whose value is NULL or garbled.

Section 12.2 of the DJGPP FAQ list has some advice about how to start 
debugging your program using the crash dump as a beginning.

This indicates that you use DJGPP v2.01.  I suggest to upgrade to v2.02.
