I don't consider myself familiar with ALan, I barely started to use it.
But I observed similar things on my A4000. If I have, as usual, MousoMeter
running (a neat silly thing that measures how far you moved your mouse
around), the compiler always crashes the machine. It seems to get through
without it. Also I got ''etudes'' from GMD (samples for ALan), and they
don't compile - but this can be due to line-end-problems (CR vs. CR/LF),
it just occured to me.

I intend to mail the author(s) about the problem (if they are reading
this, maybe...?).
