Good.

Analyze the "some running" part.

Rn the code under the debugger. You got a Trace32. This is a very
expensive tool (you can get several BDI2000's for it), so make use of
it. Set break points, single step etc. Use the tools you got.

Naybe the code just crashed before copying the code, maybe anything
else happened. How could we know? It is YOU who is sitting in front
of a high-tech debugger. USE IT!!

This can be anything. Debug your code.

Digital computers are themselves more complex than most things people
build: They have very large numbers of states. This makes conceiving,
describing, and testing them hard. Software systems have orders-of-
magnitude more states than computers do. - Fred Brooks, Jr.
