	There is a problem with the `run' command in version 2.5 (and 2.5.1).
It seems that the interpreter gets confused when executing  long files.  More
precisely,  once  the file  has  been read and  executed,  interpretation may
resume at an arbitrary point of the included file (possibly in  the middle of
a comment) instead of continuing from just after the `run'. This  bug was not
present in version 2.4.1 (I don't know where to look exactly for the problem,
and so I cannot suggest any fix).
