   With my two friends we have discovered a little, but annoying bug
in amigabasic (think it was 1.2).
   That damned rs-channel isn't working properly. When it receives
a chr$(255) you can wait forever...It somehow locks basic,
execution stops, but may remotely be corrected with chr$(3)
(at least once in a while).
   Is this a bug, or is it somewhat a hidden feature in amiga?
Is it corrected in a-basic v1.3? Have any other discovered this?
