Boy, this rings a (faint bell). I've seen something like this before,
waaaaay back when I ran Xenix at work. What it's doing is trying to
allocate a gigantic chunk of memory, for some erroneous reason, and
eating all the swap space. What I can't remember right now is what I
used to do to fix it. I recall that it required compiling Kermit with
some different options, but for the life of me what that difference is
won't come back to me right now.
Wild guess: it may be that the one you've got was compiled with
-DDYNAMIC, if so maybe you can find or make one compiled without.

: btw: this reminds me of a question: is #!/usr/local/bin/kermit supposed

As best as I can recall, Xenix doesn't support the #!/<whatever>
mechanism.
