I should add the following info to my previous note:

1) It was found on an HP9816 with 768K memory.
2) The BASIC system disk is "98611A Opt 630".

Further distillation of the bug has resulted in a 3-liner:

	10 DIM Z(100)
	20 RPLOT 50,50,-1
	30 END

So it's "Z" that's the culprit!  Of course the lack of GINIT, etc
could make this program behave erratically, but it does demonstrate
the bug.  We have also reproduced this bug on another 9816 running
BASIC 2.1.  We will be informing HP about this in case they aren't
REALLY listening.
