Virtual HP 50g resets SORT on list with real numbers

[Alex Bochannek]

Hello!

I am running the HP Virtual Calculator (version 3.1.29, HP50g ROM
2.1.6, Windows XP under CrossOver on macOS.) When doing a SORT on a
list of real numbers, the calculator resets. A single real number in
the list is sufficient:

{1. 2 3 1}
SORT

yields a reset. A SORT on a list of integers (or strings) works fine.
The same example on a physical HP50g (ROM 2.15) works fine.

Has anybody else observed this? Is there a fix for this? Any
suggestions for a workaround?

Thanks!

Alex.

FWIW, the problem does not occur iOS emulator, HP50g aka Emu50, which is based on Emu48 by TheWinterStorm and m48+ by Marcus Gonser, based on Emu48 for Windows Mobile according to the About info.

Works fine on Emu50, ROM 2.15, Windows 7. Probably something amiss with your system configuration.
