CHR / CHR$ issue? (*solved*) - britlion - 08-15-2009

I boiled the issue down to the following code

Code:
DIM x,f as integer

    CLS

    FOR x=1 TO 4

      PRINT AT 0,0;

      LET f=1

170   print at 0,0;

      PRINT (x+64);

      IF f<704 THEN

        LET f=f+1

        GO TO 170

      END IF

180 NEXT x

    BEEP 1,1

This works perfectly. However, if we ask for the CHR of (x+64):

Code:
DIM x,f as integer

    CLS

    FOR x=1 TO 4

      PRINT AT 0,0;

      LET f=1

170   print at 0,0;

      PRINT CHR(x+64);

      IF f<704 THEN

        LET f=f+1

        GO TO 170

      END IF

180 NEXT x

    BEEP 1,1

My produced code crashes spectacularly. Has the CHR function come up with a bug?
