Thanks, that was easy enough.
Here's the RAM dump. I'm seeing the same behavior with the newest emulator build (3.383605). If you run CEL as-is, everything is fine. If you switch to UNSIGN mode first, it will hang in an infinite loop, and upon breaking, you'll see that those three program steps have been changed.

Please see pp. 186ff of the v3.2 manual.

Where can I find that revision? I only see 3.1 on SF.

I hope you are patient because I don't have much time to track the bug. I promise I'll do.

No sweat, you aren't holding me up or anything. The program seems to work fine in 2's-complement mode; it just freaked me out a bit when it corrupted itself in unsigned mode.

I think I've found the bug:
in unsigned mode Your program seems to be buggy and creates coordinates out of the bounds bounds of the plot object. These values were mistreated as negative values in the range checking code of the plotting commands. I changed the code to use unsigned int instead of int so the range checking now works and the commands with invalid plot coordinates are simply ignored.
You code still doesn't work but the calculator no longer inadvertently modifies the program area. A new build is uploaded to SF. You can try it in the emulator.

Thanks Marcus, I'll have to play around with that later and see what happens.
