Details:

To reproduce:

1. Enter "0 dump" into gforth, so it prints a stack underflow message, ok.

2. Enter "2 2 + ." and it prints "4" so everything seems to work fine.

3. Enter "8 8 + ." and it prints "10" because the output base is now
hexadecimal, which I wouldn't have expected.  It actually took me a while to
figure out why I was getting wrong-looking numbers in my output because I
thought it was my own buggy code making incorrect results.

Not sure what fix to suggest, e.g. maybe there should be an exception handler
that restores the old output base.
