WP34s: Gamma function for x very close to zero

I am sorry to say this, but it's getting even worse:

Code:

-1,5  Γ     2,3632718...
-1,5  lnΓ   calculator hangs

-2,5  Γ    -0,9453087...
-2,5  lnΓ   should throw an error, but calculator crashes,
            requires hardware reset

Strange: Γ seems to work, while lnΓ crashes. The lnΓ(–2,5) case (should throw an error) caused the display of my hardware 34s to slowly fade away until it got inresponsive. Pressing the reset button in the battery compartment was required to bring it back to life (→ "Restored"). The batteries were not new, but the low battery symbol did not show up. The emulator (wp34sgui.exe) simply hangs and needs an Alt+F4 to close and restart.
