I had an TI SR-52 - I even found a bug that TI totally disowned. If I remember it right it involved a calculation followed by something like a goto (it was a long time ago) The was no work-around you just couldn't program that sequence. It was infinitely quicker working out the parameter sequence for a digital filter than our own ICL computer dept. With its hand writing, lady punching the tape, one week later, you found yer mistakes.

Never specified a TI product after that. Same guy was the liaison, he knew he'd blown it! Couldn't rely on them, specified Intel, they were more honest with faults.
