The only thing that I can think of is possibly a problem in your 
interrupt handler. Be careful what you are calling. For example,
anything that might make a DOS call is bad news. It is possible that
you are also calling something in the SDK that is not callable from
an interrupt handler. (there aren't many of these, and they are usually
quite obvious ...) If you want us to take a look at your source code,
send it to:

support@fortech.com

It probably won't take long to find the problem. It is possible that
it's in the SDK itself, but I haven't seen any problem reports like
this.
