I'm not sure this is the right place to post this problem, but I couldn't find another place. I have tried this problem on both an old (TRS-80 Model I) and a new (IBM PC version of basic_). It is a problem with the error handling capabilities of the Basic Interpreters made by Microsoft. Try this program. It should crash your BASIC interpreter fairly quickly. 10 on error goto 100 20 print i: i = i + 1 30 return 40 goto 20 100 resume next What happens is the BASIC internal stack starts migrating through memory.
