It's likely to be a bug in the very old version of C-Kermit that
you are using. Or maybe in the old version of MS-DOS Kermit.
The best thing to do is install the current versions, 5A(190) and
3.14 respectively, and see if the problem persists. If so, send mail
to kermit.columbia.edu and we'll figure out what's wrong.
