Not a bug, and I think I know what your problem is. I could be wrong here,
but it has happened to me before...
CHECK YOUR ARGUMENTS CAREFULLY FOR STRAY COMMAS.
I bet you have the command: line(x1,y1,x2,y2,)
At first glance, it looks like nothing is wrong, but if you check at the
end there is an extra comma which will make it choke ;) If that doesn't
work, then it's anyone's guess.

There is an error in the manual that says that you can turn off lines by
adding the zero to the end (like shown above). it was a mistake carried over
from the ti-83.
