[Coco] BASIC program crashing Xroar emulator?

Hey, can someone sanity check this for me?

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rcoireqp5t826rtwu8xjq/AE_fXcHt0jnooqCaIpkYWcM?rlkey=6so179o4m9ypw0t34srh4wjxz&dl=0

I found a BASIC program I apparently wrote in 1995 — some kind of text file reader.  The notes say:

0 REM *
1 REM * Text Viewing Program Thingy V1.00 by Allen C. Huffman
2 REM * Copyright (C) 1995 by Sub-Etha Software
3 REM * Written for Terry Simons and the MI&CC Upgrade Diskletter
4 REM *

I had a BAS and an ascii version archived, and when I try to load the BAS from a DSK image and run it, it crashes Xroar, hard.

CLOAD and feed it the ascii, and same thing happens.

I am puzzled. It crashes on the Xroar online emulator too. I do not see anything in the program that looks bad, and I would have thought CLOAD the ASCII (which I did, then I saved back to the disk image) would clean up a bad token or whatever.

The Dropbox link has a DSK image, and the ascii and a text file which was the index format.

Can someone see if you can figure out what is wrong? Or if it just works for you?
