I think I figured out the problem.  I keep DJGPP on my D drive, which
is removable, a kind of zip drive but from a different company.
Anyway, I deleted the DJGPP files that I had, then went to defrag the
drive, and found out that there were some problems with my drive.  So,
after running ScanDisk a couple of times, it turns out that somehow I
damaged my disk and now have 12,288 bytes in bad sectors.  Since I
NEVER touched any of my DJGPP files during the time I wasn't using
DJGPP, I have a feeling that some of DJGPP files may have been in the
damaged disk area.
Anyway, I re-downloaded the files, so the error should be fixed now.
