Bug 000096

When Created: 07/15/1996 07:07:26
Against DJGPP version: 2.00
By whom: eliz@is.elta.co.il
Abstract: Debuggers crash when environment is larger than 4KB
If your environment has more than 4KB of variables, the DJGPP debuggers
will crash when they load the debuggee.

The reason is a bug in v2load.c that only allocates 4KB for the
environment, no matter how large the actual environment size is.

Solution added: 07/15/1996 07:10:10
By whom: eliz@is.elta.co.il
Apply this patch to v2load.c:
