I extracted a fresh copy of BOOK0 from my copy of the archive. The error
message vanished. No such luck with PHR1 (you explained why that's so), nor
with PYRAMID.

Upon completion, pyramid produces:

Interp returns -21
estack:
32ad38d8: oper x------e    0   1b2
32ad38e0: arry xrw----e    6   81f
32ad38e8: null x------e    e     3
32ad38f0: bool xr------    0     0
32ad38f8: file xr-----e    a     8

I've got another file that produces a "No Smoking" sign which produces a
message with ostack: and estack: in it.

That sounds good to me. I certainly know what state my display began in, so
I certainly can tell GS what state to leave me in after it's done. "Don' leave
me hangin'!"
