clock on the IBM (MSC)??? :-(

I've got a problem...

My program should read in the keyboard and print it (or do something else)
and while it is doing this, it should display a clock on the screen (interrupt)!

clock works untill I read something from the keyboard.... Yuk!

I get a run-time error R6000... (Stack overflow)

the program is in C for the IBM (Microsof 5.1)...

HELP!!!
thanx....
