Well, after much fiddling, and with the menu bar turned off, I was able to get CAT to display, but the content is garbled and the 50g locks up with the hourglass:

Pressing ON and F3 to Warmstart results in Andreas Library getting uninstalled and now every time I warm start, even without an SD card, I still briefly see the following message:

Waning:
Invalid Card Data

When I now press Rightshift (ORG) and 2 to get LIB, I see only 0: 1: 2: and nothing else, showing how all previously install libraries are now uninstalled. However, if I press 0: I still see 261 and 772 saved there.

At this point, I pressed LeftShift (WHT) to open File Manager. I then selected 0: IRAM and pressed the OK softkey. With "English Messag L261 94136" selected, I pressed the NXT button and then the PURGE softkey, followed by the YES softkey to confirm the delete. But I get an Error...

Error:
Object In Use

Not sure what to do at this point.

My other library stored in IRAM is 130271 in size, so maybe all these problems happened due to insufficient memory in IRAM?

I then used a narrow tool to press the recessed RESET button on the back of the 50g. I then used File Manager and this time I could PURGE Andreas' Library. 0: IRAM now shows 233KB free.

Next, I used File Manager to COPY Andreas Library back to IRAM and then did a Warmstart. Free RAM in the upper right corner says 143241. I can now get CAT to display and bring up the Periodic Table just fine. No lockups. So clearly the presence of my other big Library before caused Andreas' Library to choke and freeze my poor 50g.

I then performed another Warmstart so I could see 143241 of free RAM in the upper right again. I pushed-and-held the TOOL button for more than 1 sec. and released, and my menu bar vanished (as it should). Free RAM down to 121650. I long-pressed TOOL again to toggle the menu bar back ON. Free RAM down to 105986. I pressed TOOL to toggle again and now RAM reports 89299. Repeated toggle again and now it's 74147. Again and now it's 59796. Then 45196. Then 30621, 18808, 5098, and then it's back to 141597 again. No lockup, so I guess that's normal?

I look forward to hearing advice on what I should do next.

Thanks.
