I got the compiler, but...

From "test1.i":

       DO ABSTAIN FROM (52)
       DO ABSTAIN FROM NEXTING		(this line added by me)
       DO REINSTATE (52)
(52)   DO (123) NEXT
       DO ERROR: LABEL REINSTATING NOT WORKING

According to the manual section on REINSTATE, statement (52) should
NOT be abstained from, but the C-INTERCAL 0.6 compiler gets this terribly
wrong. The error message is printed, while it should not be.

    REINSTATEment  nullifies  the  effects  of  an   abstention.
    Either  form  of  REINSTATEment  can  be  used  to  "free" a
    statement, regardless of whether the statement was abstained
    from  by  gerund  list,  line   label,   or   NOT.

Can something be done about this? And we only get comp.lang.misc
here, not alt.lang.intercal, btw.
