To reproduce the bug, simply create any sort of program, even a simple

10 print "Hello world!"

will do. Then, save it as a protected file:

save "HELLO",P

Finally, start PC-BASIC with --strict-protect, load the file, and try to use an EDIT statement:

LOAD "HELLO" EDIT 10

PC-BASIC will crash. The expected result is probably "Illegal function call", however.
