It says:

address@hidden helforth04b $ bin/qemu-i386 hf
()<1234567qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - exiting
address@hidden helforth04b $ bin/qemu-i386 test
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - exiting
address@hidden helforth04b $ 

The first command is my FORTH with some debugging code I added and "test" is 
the code I send in last mail. BTW: Does the segmentation fault message mean 
it's the emulator or it's the program?

How? Can you point me to documentation? I dont know structure of QEMU well - as 
far as I've seen there are a lot optimisations for PCC. I dont understand 
PPC-assembler and dont like to learn it for this problem (I would implement a 
C-FORTH instead...).

Bis dann,
