But, *where* are they inited? I.e. are those definitions inside a function
or outside? If they are inside, I'd suspect you are hitting the 
limited stacksize of DJGPP programs (256Kb by default, can be stubedit'ed).

Had you posted a complete example source, demonstrating the erroneous
behaviour, this information would have been present in there :-(

Here, again, you left out the more important parts of the error message:
the actual message and the register dump.

Strange...

Please, read the FAQ, guys! There's a reason for the instructions
it contains about preparing a problem report, really!
