This is sounds very suspiciously like a stack problem. Before running
your program type "Stack" to figure out the stack size, then make a rough
approximation of how much stack is being used in the routine in question.
Do this by adding up the sizes of all local variables in every routine
"above" and including the routine in question. Then add another 1K for
DOS kinds things. If that number is bigger than or even close to the
Stack number you got above then try doubling the stack size.
