Yeah, that's exactly what is supposed to happen. Each line in that
example will crash gforth (or at least throw an exception).
Kind of a stupid thing to put in a tutorial, but there it is. I guess
the point is to demonstrate that Forth doesn't try to protect you from
doing such things and that it's ok to crash the system.
