Any program which uses interrupts should do this first!
If you attempt to initialize possible sources of interrupts
(such as UART chips) while CPU interrupts are enabled, and should
an interrupt occur during that initialization, then disaster
might result.  Probably sometime after this initialization is
complete, CPU interrupts are re-enabled.

Of course, this does not mean that the Kermit program you
describe handles interrupts properly.
