Yes, I have as well. Not the latest one that Andreas posted, but the previous one. For what it's worth, I also ran into both a lockup and a warmstart when in memory-constrained conditions (ie. when a GC still wouldn't leave more than 2-3K or so available). I was never able to find a repeatable pattern to it, though. I'll try the latest one as well when I can.

If you're wanting to to reduce the memory available, there's several ways to do it that are easier (and possibly safer) than installing libraries. The easiest that comes to mind is to use MAKESTR to make a very large string object. You can either leave it on the stack or store it somewhere, depending on what part of the calculator's memory you want to affect.

MAKESTR takes one argument, which is a number representing the number of characters that will be in the string object it creates. The 50g is perfectly happy making large strings this way, so you can create large objects to fill up whatever memory area you prefer. MAKESTR is a command from the Development Library which is built-in to all 50g's, but you may have to attach library 256 to make sure it's available.
