Things do get "fun" when a computer loses its mind.  I trust you did a 
CTRL-C from this.

Go to the area $RUNFIL (usually $AIPS_ROOT/RUN) and simply delete the 
file named COMPloca.1.04J.  It is an attempt to compress your work area 
when you had some error in procedures that you attempted to compile. 
That file cannot be used until those errors are corrected and it is 
probably easier to just delete it.

You should be able to start up under user 163.  I guess you could try 
another compress, but I suspect that you have procedures in your POPS 
memory that do not compile correctly although "BLEW TEMP K!" normally 
appears only when you execute looping procedures that use a lot of 
strings.  Starting over with a RESTORE 0 right after typing the user 
number may be your only choice.
