This looks like an internal error in the compiler, where a pointer
to a character string has not been initialized, or has been clobbered.

This message made from 100% recycled bits.
You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
