This is the program you have (with a C9 added to the end):

	RET NC
	CP (HL)
	RET NC
	CP (HL)
	RET NC
	RET

It's quite meaningless.

It's no surprise to have your calc do strange things when you attempt an
operation that wasn't planned, like compacting an AsmPrgm into a Real.

Some of you guys are looking way too deep into this Willy thing.  It's
probably just a piece of test code that someone overlooked when the ROM
was committed to production.  I originally posted my message about Willy
as a joke, because I found it mildly interesting to see such a string in
the ROM.  I should have just kept quiet.
