The problem with while was that once I made it return value, some pieces of 
code following 'while' statements were no longer executed. I'll need to try 
again, though.

Change 1277 can be found at
http://public.perforce.com:8080/@md=d&cd=//guest/richard_geiger/intjam/src/&ra=s&c=Gu3@//guest/richard_geiger/intjam/src/compile.c?ac=22

it was some bugfix in 'compile_setcomp' but that function is very much 
altered.
