[Amforth-devel] Possible problem in words/greater.asm

[Erich W. <ew....@na...>]

Hello,

I was wondering, why my simple code would stall the controller.
Turns out that '<' and '>' behave differently, or more
precisely, '>' (words/greater.asm) seems broken. This is in
releases/3.8, but md5sum suggests, this file is unchanged in

e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.3/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.4/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.5/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.6/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.7/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.8/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/releases/3.9/core/words/greater.asm
e7c30a91806871702d10a0fe4a2f8b28  Forth/amforth/trunk/core/words/greater.asm

However, this could be a sideeffect from some other change ...
