I pushed a fix for this.

(Arguably this was not a bug, because the faulty behaviour occurs only if the "lower" bound that the user gives is higher than the "upper" bound.  However I pushed a fix which allows the bounds to be specified in either order)

EDIT eg.
NPAR TEST /KRUSKAL-WALLIS = followup BY Death (0, 1) . 
  --> (right results)
NPAR TEST /KRUSKAL-WALLIS = followup BY Death (1, 0) .
  --> (erroneous results)

What have not tested:
@ If this true to other tests
@ if this can happen to other coding schemes eg. 1 & 2 / 2 & 1 etc.
