Charles,
I had the same problem last year.
The problem I had was caused by a loop to detect how fast the processor is
running. This loop did not correctly handle that the timing loop may
complete so quickly. This produced a divide overflow.
If like me you need to use 3.12 because of the product macro then I suggest
the following:
1) Get hold of the Kermit 3.12 source
2) Get hold of the latest source (I used 3.14)
3) Build the 3.12 version.
4) Run the 3.12 version with codeview and let it crash
5) Determine where it has crashed and replace the relevent code with the
code from the latest version of Kermit.
6) rebuild
And there you have it.
Unfortunately I do not have the environment set up to do this for you any
more and the version I have has been customised slightly for our needs. You
are welcome to try our version, please send me an email if you wish to.
