I don't think this second version is ever reading the function pointer
from program space which is why is goes to never-never-land.  It
should probably look something like this:

#if defined( __GCC_VERSION__ )
  functype_t func = (functype_t)pgm_read_word(&cmd_func_table[i].function);
  retval = func ((CONST char *) token, (CONST char *) tokptr);
#endif

The code that Eric posted yesterday had the same problem. If you look
at the assembly listing, there was no LPM insn to pull the function
from program space.
