    Question: does this program have any statements of the following
form: 'if (...) then flash'? In one of the old Nibble Magazines (Jan
86, or thereabouts), Sandy Mossberg's _Disassembly Lines_ covers a bug
where a 'THEN FLASH' could force Basic.system into a trace mode.

    Other than that, I'd recommend making sure that the copy of ProDOS
and Basic.system are the same between thge working system disk and
your HD.
