Wasn't it ?0+""+-0 that crashes BASIC V2 (Commodore VIC-20 and 64)? On 
the plus/4 it merely seems to cause a BRK into the monitor. BASIC V2 and 
the plus/4 BASIC also does BRK when you type 35072121.

I wonder if other Microsoft BASIC implementations have the same bugs, or 
if anyone has investigated these bugs in a similar detail as this entry 
about the WAIT6502,1 easter egg: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=43

Best regards,
