Or, at least, TxtCharAttr.
AFAICT, there's a low-memory global that both GetCharAttr and
TxtCharAttr access. This low-memory global contains a pointer to one
of three kinds of tables. TxtCharAttr is smart enough to know how to
check which kind of table it is. GetCharAttr, however, assumes that
it is only one kind of table. When it attempts to access that table
in a fashion appropriate for the assumed format, it will display the
error message you give when the table is in one of the other formats.
Or so it seems. I'm no expert on this stuff. I just read source
code. If I'm wrong, I'm sure Ken Krugler will dive in here and
correct me (with one of his patented "1. 2. 3. ..." e-mails!).
