If it works OK when you're following it in the debugger, you may be running
out of stack space or somehow writing into yor stack with a wild pointer.
The debugger swaps your stack around for you (because it needs to use its
own stack space) so it can sometimes indavertently save you from stack
corruption.  That's the first place I would look anyhow.
DOn't forget TC/BC only give you 4K of stack to start off with; it's fairly
easy to run out of it if you have a lot of local variables.

human...Why have we not yet acquired this insight in relation to the world
of the free will?  Because outwardly we are the masters of madness, because
the insane are violated by us, and we hinder them from living according to
their ethical laws...Now we must endeavor to overcome the dead point in our
relationship to insanity."       --Wieland Herzfelde, 1914
