The discussion about timestamps had me look at the timestamp stage,
and I noticed that arguments above 16 to that stage make it produce
unexpected output:
pipe literal|timestamp 17|cons
8888888888888888.
Ready;
pipe literal|timestamp 18|cons
È8È8È8È8È8È8È8È8..
Ready;

The help file doesn't document that the argument must be 16 or less,
but then again it also doesn't specify what it does with arguments
larger than 16.  This was tested on sublevel 20.
