Hi Sean: do you have a program that demonstrates this error that you can
share? That'll let me track down the bug.

Hi Danny: The contracts are checked at the boundary based on the define/chk
macro. This is an internal error somewhere -- angles are not restricted to
being between 0 and 360. I don't suppose you noticed how to make this error
happen?
