Back when I got my first Atari 400 computer, Atari BASIC produced error
messages such as:

  Error 13 at line 1120

and you had to dig out the book and look up what Error 13 was (e.g.,
out of memory).  The explanation accompanying Error 0 was "Power not on".
I've always wondered just how it was that anybody could ever run into that
particular error.
