Having just gotten back into working with Inform after a three year
haitus, I'm busy learning the ins and outs of the new compiler, new
library, the zero errors from hell, etc.

Just when I think I've got most of it understood, I'm getting the
following when I have strict error checking on and I input a gibberish
word to the parser (e.g. "examine sdfaerg")

[** Programming error: tried to read from -->-1 in the (->) array
"parse", which has entries 0 up to 64 **]

Is there a workaround to this, or should I just ignore it?

Thanks.

Chip Hayes
