On my Atmega8 (16PU) everything works fine. No problems.
Please check your fuses & lockbits and re-set them to
factory defaults (except oscillator settings). Basically the
fff3 is decimal -13 and that means that the word ending at
character 12 (the c says that) was not found and could be converted
to a number. For version 1.3 you could try to enter the
; again, since the interpreter remains in compilation mode even
for such aborts.

The upcoming version 1.4 (svn trunk) will reset the state to
interpreter mode.

Bye
Matthias
