Ok, it's own-up time.

I've found one reason for some of the crashes I've been getting:

WRITE 'Message' AT 10, 10 WHITE ON LIGHT RED

This command goes through TRACE and RCODE without error and
displays ok but the background colour is illegal.

R:Base seems to crash if it has to do something like run a form after the
command. Doing other things like further writes or setting vars is ok.

Turn the colours around (Light Red ON White) and it's fine every time.

If you want to test it for yourself, the following are all illegal but go
though trace & rcode:

cls
write 'White ON Light Black'   AT 10, 10 White ON Light Black
write 'White ON Light Blue'    AT 11, 10 White ON Light Blue 
write 'White ON Light Cyan'    AT 12, 10 White ON Light Cyan 
write 'White ON Light Green'   AT 13, 10 White ON Light Green
write 'White ON Light Magenta' AT 14, 10 White ON Light Magenta
write 'White ON Light Red'     AT 15, 10 White ON Light Red
return
