The air traffic controller suggested to the crew of a Boeing 737 to leave runway 06 at the end when he gave permission to land on this runway. The crew followed this instruction literally, whereby they crossed the runway end lighting and ended up in the protection area of the instrument landing system for runway 36R. The air traffic controller then instructed a Boeing 737 approaching runway 36R to carry out a go-around.
