the doorsos kernal seems to be messing with the calculator's normal operations
in many ways.  often, i'll get the memory error when trying to do simple
symbolic algebra from the home screen.  occasionally, when i enter something
and hit enter, the calc will just freeze.  this happens from the home screen,
but has also happened from the y= and i suspect it would happen in the window
editor and other places as well.  something about the normal parser or
something.

basically, what i'm saying is that the memory error is only a small part of
this bug in doors.
