I was working on <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/140153>, when I discovered
that adding the --enable-indirect-threaded flag to configure fixed the
bug.  Given that this is a PPC-only bug, does anybody have any idea what
this flag does, and how, so that I can have more confidence that I
didn't accidentally break something else by adding this flag to the
Debian package?

For full information, here's a transcript of the bug (again, this
happens only on a powerpc machine):

$ gforth
: down ( x y -- x-1 y)  compiled
    1-  compiled
;  ok
' down  ok
.s <1> 806913952  ok
1-  ok
execute Segmentation fault

If I add --enable-indirect-threaded, the last bit becomes:

execute
*the terminal*:1: Invalid memory address
execute
^^^^^^^
Backtrace:

Which looks more correct (I am just learning forth, myself)

Thanks,

-=Eric
