Thanks for the bug report.  I haven't had reason to use yforth in many
years, (the package was last updated on 11 October 2012), so I hadn't
noticed! 

My guess is that this is a simple 64-bit system incompatibility, as a
quick rebuild of the package on my current 64-bit laptop yields a large
number of warnings about casts of pointer from integer of different size...

Honestly, I'm not sure this is worth fixing?  The upstream site has
disappeared entirely.  If someone wants to step through the source and
fix all the cast issues, I'd be happy to have a patch.  But given the
availability of gforth and pforth in Debian, just removing yforth from
Debian might be the best plan.
