DAT 0, how?

I have a problem with the DAT 0 instruction:

In MARS 4.0 the default memory contents are DAT 0,0 's.
However, DAT 0,0 will compile to DAT #0,0 making it impossible
for my CMP-scanner to avoid hitting itself. (CMP differs
between the two intructions.)

What is the default memory contents in KoTH? It can't be
DAT 0,0 since this is not a valid instruction according to
the KoTH daemon.

Both MARS and KoTH claim to be fully ICWS'88 compatible, so
this smells like a ompatibility problem to me...
