I just got TMON Pro and although it look pretty neat, I've already discovered one (repeatable) situation in which the debugger itself gets hosed by a commercial program. I'm sure I'm just missing the obvious, but although I've looked in the manual, I can't figure it out. The problem is when I enter the monitor while running VersaTerm (4.1). I just did this by chance at one point, and got a crash. This is what happens: Start Versaterm 4.1. Enter TMON (either thru TMON FKEY or thru physical prog switch). Get message "exception vectors change". Try to enter TMON thru TMON FKEY. No dice. Screen is frozen at this point, although mouse moves. Enter thru prog's switch. Get message that "Monitor damaged". Crashola. I can exit to shell at that point. Probably some interaction between TMON Pro and access to the serial port? I dunno, but would welcome advice. I'm enclosing a portion of the official ICOM problem report at the end of this note, so you can get a better idea of my setup. If we can't figure it out, I'll forward it on to ICOM. Thanks! (P.S.: in general, how often should one expect to see the msg "exception vectors changed"? I know that it happens on first entering the monitor under MF (i.e. the first time after boot), but it seems to happen often with me).
