POLYROOT does not always work inside a program

[JMB]

I have found a strange behavior (a bug?) while using the function POLYROOT inside a program. My firmware version is 2015 6 17 (8151).

The calculator's built-in help states that the argument of this function can be either a symbolic expression or a vector of coefficients, but I have found that a list of coefficients also works as the function's argument. So both POLYROOT([1 -3 2]) and POLYROOT({1, -3, 2}) return the same answer: {1, 2}, in Home and in CAS.

The problem arises when I use this function inside a program, for example:
EXPORT Test()
BEGIN
POLYROOT([1, -3, 2]);
END;

The first thing worth noting in that commas are needed inside [ ], otherwise you get a syntax error when you tap the Check button. Then when you run the program you get the following error message:

Test
"POLYROOT(ListToMat(EVAL
LIST({0,1,3,1-3,2})))
Error: Bad Argument
Value)"

After trying different numeric values, I have found that this error only happens inside a program, when using [ ] and at least one value is negative. So we have, for example:

POLYROOT({1, 3, 2}): correct answer {-2, -1}
POLYROOT([1, 3, 2]): correct answer {-2, -1}
POLYROOT({1, -3, 2}): correct answer {1, 2}
POLYROOT([1, -3, 2]): error, as stated before

Corrected in firmware 10077.
