This is ok:

---------------------------
variable
*the terminal*:1: error: Attempt to use zero-length string as a name
---------------------------

But:

---------------------------
s" " nextname variable  ok
latest name>string  .s <2> 1985949052 0  ok
---------------------------

I expected exception #-16 also in this case. Is it a bug?

I'm using Gforth 0.7.9_20171005. I've tried 0.7.2 and 0.7.3, same behaviour.
