This is a beta version of Windows, right?  How close that is to the
version that's about to be released?  If it's not close, perhaps you
shouldn't work with beta OS.

If I understand this correctly, the crashed program was Make, not
GCC.  So you should have at least said what version of Make did you
use, and in what port (was that the DJGPP port?).  Also, crashes which
involve Make are hardly appropriate for this forum.

FWIW, several people have reported problems on W2K that involve
running DJGPP programs from other DJGPP programs (that's exactly what
happens when Make invokes the compiler).  Others reported they had no
problems at all with DJGPP programs on W2K.  Go figure.

Why do you assume that Microsoft *wants* this to be fixed?  I'm quite
confident in the contrary.
