This is, indeed, an underflow.

After "fin,POP", the stack is empty.

Then you place $maxbytes on the stack.

Then you try to multiply, but multiplication needs two values. There
is only one value on the stack.

This was discussed (very) recently.  HRULE stays.

But there is another reason why you may want to use LINE instead:
HRULE only shows when the Y-axis is large enough.

LINE will _make_ the Y-axix large enough.

In other words: HRULE only shows if the rates approximate $maxbytes
(or if you have --upper-limit set high enough).  LINE will always
show (unless you have a low --upper-limit, and --rigid).
