Did you do a soft reset after freezing or removing BugTrap? There might
still be things left in memory after you disable it. Same goes for freezing
or removing extensions and other packages. A soft reset will insure that the
heap is clean.

Great Runes n.: Uppercase-only text or display messages. Some archaic
operating systems still emit these. See also runes, smash case, fold case.
There is a widespread legend (repeated by earlier versions of this entry,
though tagged as folklore) that the uppercase-only support of various old
character codes and I/O equipment was chosen by a religious person in a
position of power at the Teletype Company because supporting both upper and
lower cases was too expensive and supporting lower case only would have made
it impossible to spell `God' correctly. Not true; the upper-case
interpretation of teleprinter codes was well established by 1870, long
before Teletype was even founded.
