We have identified the possible source if this problem.  It happens on
Windows ME when long file names support in DJGPP programs is
disabled.  To work around these problems, set LFN=y in the
environment.

The bug is actually on one of the library functions; it will be fixed
in the next version.  However, since there's no reason to disable LFN
on Windows ME, the problem is not so grave.

(I'm guessing that this hits people who use old versions of DJGPP
distributed on a CD with some books, where LFN was turned off by the
DJGPP.ENV file.  Note the old version of GCC printed in the
compilation trace above.)
