Bug Description

Changes for 3.0.18.1 (May 5, 2009)

    * The behavior of the multi-method inherited() operator has changed. The operator now chooses the inherited function to call based on the actual argument values, rather than the formal (declared) parameters to the current function. This is more consistent with the inherited() operator for regular methods.
    * A bug in the compiler, versions 3.0.17, 3.0.17.1, and 3.0.18, caused incorrect (too small) stack size requests to be generated for some functions and methods. This generally had no noticeable effect on valid programs, but it made it possible for an errant program (with infinite recursion, for example) to cause a stack overflow that the interpreter doesn't detect immediately, which could conceivably crash the interpreter. An actual crash would require an unlikely combination of factors, even with an errant program compiled with this bug, so you'll probably never notice it. Even so, if you distributed any .t3 files compiled with t3make versions 3.0.17 through 3.0.18, we recommend recompiling with the current t3make version and replacing your previously distributed files, if it's easy for you to do so.

It looks like the upstream was superseded by frobstads. Debian now has two source packages, tads and frobstads, that both build (some of) the same binary packages. Contacted the debian maintainer about correcting this by dropping the tads source package from the archive, then the frobstads package should be synced to ubuntu and this will be resolved.
