I have a TI-59 that appears to have an intermittent problem locating common labels in a program.
Some details:
* I wrote a simple factorial program using DSZ for looping and the common label CLR.
* Initially it works. But after a half minute or so it fails at the step calling CLR and flashes.
* Listing the code on the PC-100A before and after shows no changes.
* Loading the same program (same mag card) to another 59 and running works without flaw.
* Changing the DSZ branching from a label to a line number on the original machine also works.
So it seems to me this may be an obscure issue where it can't locate a label in memory.
