The IFERR library that I posted a short time ago does indeed have a bug in
it, as reported by Kevin Bashi.  You can't execute a program containing
the new IFERR structure while any command line execution is pending, such
as by typing the program's name into the command line and pressing ENTER or
any implicit ENTER key.

In the process of examining the problem, we did some more thinking about
what an alternative IFERR ought to do, which has delayed posting of
a corrected version.  A new version should be available soon.

Meanwhile, you should discard the currently posted version and console
yourself with the thought that at least the price was right.
