By the way, this is an HGR2 program.  The code I was using for loading
the shapes is:

10 SCALE=1:ROT=0
20 SH = 25000:D$ =  CHR$ (4)
30 PRINT D$;"BLOAD ORBSHAPES,A";SH
40 POKE 232,SH -  INT (SH / 256) * 256:POKE 233, INT (SH / 256)

Is that the optimal location for it?  Tweaking the "25000" value seems
to improve/make worse the crashing incidence.
