I solved exactly this problem for someone a month ago. The problem is that
the line

	( ) dup 0 charcode ....

         ^
         |----- SPACE

It doesn't look like it has a one since a space in Times Roman font has a small
character width. This holds for insidecircletext too. If you can trace the
error codes, it told you that it was a stackunderflow, so obviously the stuff
inside the brackets cannot be nothing.

If you check your syntax carefully, I am pretty sure that's your problem.
