That's because I've prepared Gforth to integrate as library - and it now 
returns via (bye) after startup.  Question: What kind of return magic should 
we use? Maybe something > 255, because 0..255 are values useful for exit.

Yes, there was a bug introduced... gforth allocates the correct dictionary 
size, but doesn't know about it.

I'm now mostly working on my new header experiment branch, whihc is a git 
repository here:

git clone http://bernd-paysan.de/gforth

I keep merging in changes from CVS, though, and once the experimental header 
stuff is ok with Anton, I'll either check that back into CVS, or we move to 
git officially.
