[comp.sys.mac.comm] My frog went and snuffed it

My Kermit died a couple of weeks ago, after one of my MIDI Manager
applications crashed in a rather bizarre manner (that was my fault,
though).

Kermit 0.9 complained that it couldn't open either the RAM or ROM
serial drivers. Kermit 0.8 gave me error -21 (bad unit number?).
Changing copies of Kermit or the System file didn't fix it, so
I guessed it was something in the PRAM. Sure enough, pulling out
the battery for a few minutes fixed it.

So, I don't have the problem any more, but I'm curious what it was
(and others may run into this). Anybody have any ideas?

Yours,
	happily frogging once more,
		Nick.
