I believe that Don told me that this happened when he wrote some stuff
to explore the set screen operator.  Either he was trying to make the
spot function to something funny, or else (I think the latter, if I
remember right) was trying to print out the patterns that the setscreen
was using, only expanded.  It is indeed unusual, but there is nothing in
the language definition to prevent it.

Don certainly fools around a lot, but generaly, he has a specific objective
when he does so.  I'll find out just what he was doing. :=}
