This release focuses upon improvements to error-handling, and resilience, both as a result of extensive fuzz-testing.

I've successfully run fuzz-testing for 28 hours without a single error now - ignoring "crashes" which were the result of timeouts, due to infinite loops & etc:

  2018/12/23 21:57:45 workers: 1, corpus: 456 (1h20m ago), 
    crashers: 292, restarts: 1/1213, execs: 7742522 (75/sec), cover: 2107, uptime: 28h42m

I don't believe there will be any user-visible changes except for the handling of GOTO/GOSUB statements that pointed to invalid lines. In the past this program would result in an infinite loop:

 10 PRINT "Hello, Steve\n"
 20 GOTO 2000

This was caused by the "GOTO" statement looking for line 2000, not finding it, and jumping to line zero. Now a GOTO/GOSUB statement which points to a missing line is a fatal error.
