Attempting to send a rednet.broadcast() message from a program running on a monitor causes the computer to crash. See attachment for error output.

The modem is placed on the back of the computer. 3x2 monitor is on top of the computer. Using advanced monitor and advanced computer.

The message "Press any key to continue" is displayed. Pressing a key causes the screen to go black and you must escape then right click before the command prompt returns.

Note1: sending rednet broadcasts works fine when NOT running on the monitor.

Note2: I used the lua prompt on the monitor to demonstrate. Writing the code in a program and running it on a monitor has the same effect.

This is interesting… I just tested this and couldn't replicate the results, but I remember getting this exact error in Firewolf when running it on a monitor a long while back…
