In DosEmu2 C--.exe did run fine. That made me try:

C:\>hdpmi32 -r -x
C:\>jemmex novcpi
C:\>c--

and the compiler runs without rebooting under MS-DOS 7.1.

So the problem is: the DOS extender used in C--.exe is 1) unstable and 2) doesn't use an external DPMI host if VCPI is available.

MS-DOS forever!
