I've just built Lout-3.35 using the changes I made to the 3.28 
version I released on the DJGPP site, builds fine on gcc-3.2.2 
with less warnings than experienced by Robert. My DJGPP setup is 
2.0.3, but very old and hardly used.

As for the strange behaviour, I haven't done a lot of testing on 
the DJGPP platform for Lout, but in the past, I managed to build 
the usual 4 documents only after increasing the minimum stack size 
using stubedit. As for the exact reasons, I have no idea.

Since I usually stick to standard setups, cygwin and mingw is 
still waiting for the 4.x series to be officially released. I 
suppose some checking will be needed to ensure that Lout builds 
smoothly on cygwin/mingw with gcc 4.x.
