Sure, ending a program with GTO 00 is a good idea as the next R/S will start the program from the beginning. But in this case we are talking about a subroutine call: There are several occurences of GSB 32 which calls line 32 and then is supposed to return to the calling program with a RTN. Ending this subroutine with GTO 00 just stops the program at this point. Which of course will yield strange results.

Have you tried this code on a real HP-33C/E? I did so on the Panamatic 33E emulator. Indeed GTO 00 does not work while everything is fine with a final RTN.
