Getc() and write_eeprom() freezes 16F876

[Golgotha]

Has anyone ever had the problem of running Getc() and write_eeprom() sequentially and then having the PIC stop running its interrupts or freeze up all together? The write operation still works, as the data is updated at reset, but for some reason it won't come out of the write completely and the functions work fine independently...any ideas?

btw:
This is in a fairly large program (uses about 65 percent of the program eeprom). I tried re-initializing my interrupts, but to no avail...I also wrote my own data EEPROM access functions in assembly, but it does the same thing.

code segment:
-------------------------------------------

putc('3');
scaleflag=getc();
write_eeprom(72, scaleflag);
if(scaleflag==1)threshold=50; //celsius
else if(scaleflag==2)
threshold=122; //fahrenheit
else if(scaleflag==4) threshold=323; //kelvin
--------------------------------------------


Thanks!

What PIC are you using and what's your compiler version ?

There was a problem with write_eeprom() and older versions
of the compiler. See this post:
