Thanks to all that replied. Everyone said Kermit was fine, so I
realized that it must have been me. With the information that kermit
was OK, I easily determined that I had a parity mismatch. (One could
hope for better error handling, but that's a subject for another
list.) The compiler warnings had sent me down the wrong track.
