Serious bug in SP-Forth

[Gerry Jackson]

In SP-Forth 4.20, a simple example to show the problem.

: x >r begin r@ . r@ -255 0 within while r> 1+ >r repeat r> drop ;
-3 x
-3 -2 -1 -256  Ok

Should be
-3 -2 -1 0 Ok

The r> 1+ >r inside the loop increments -1 to -256

Yes, the bug manifests itself in 4.20, verified on released debian package.
Looks like we should break "one release a year" rule :)
