Here it is, the Anomalies [BUGS] and the affected ROM levels
Anomaly Level
------- -----
The DEFINE command rounds numerical values in a user-defined A
function definition according to the current display mode,
potentially losing accuracry in the stored definition.
Entry of a symbolic complex number in polar form '(A,<B)' A,B,C,D
returns 'B*COS(A)-i*B*SIN(A)' instead of 'A*COS(B)+i*A*SIN(B)'
The NXEQ operation executed from the Graphics environment with A
the Numerical Results flag (-3) set, may cause the current
equation to be overwritten with a numerical value.
The KGET command will cause calculator memory to be cleared if A
you attempt to transfer a file of length 0 (zero) from your
computer.
If the Clock Format flag (-41) is set, so that the time is A
displayed in 24-hour format, the Alarm Catalog will show the
incorrect ones-digit for minutes in the alram time.
The INV command returns an incorrect result if you attempt to A,B,C
invert an 8 by 8 or larger matrix.
And, there they are...the sheet includes workaround and avoidance
procedures...but they're pretty stupid [like don't do it! kind of avoidance
steps].
