Yes, the stack pointer points to the last address used on the stack,
and that will be the value of the PC when it called the error
subroutine, or to put it another way, the address of the next
instruction to be executed had the JSR not been taken.  It's failing at
whatever test was just before location 330 -- which is surprisingly
low.  You'd need to look at the listing to see what the test was.
