The whole point of this function in any language is just as a
benchmark; both for the original y-returning function and the
(probably more widespread) z-returning version; and that's the reason
why the difference between these versions was not noticed immediately.

However, in my compiler course I use it as test for the correctness of
argument handling (in the student's compiler).

I care.  For Gforth, what version did you use, and who built it?
Also, if you use the "run" parameters, most of the time spent in
Gforth is in Gforth startup; that's why I used 32 16 8 tak in my
benchmark.
