Although an error was flagged by the tokenizer, the state variable
indicating that the interpreter was in the process of compiling a loop
was not reverted -- so any further input was considered as part of an
unfinished loop.
That's now fixed in git.
Thanks, Allin. That made me think of a related thing; consider the
following pseudo script:
<broken-hansl>
loop 3
print "hey"
</broken-hansl>
If I run it, nothing happens. OK, I don't expect any (printed) output,
but wouldn't it maybe be better to throw an error if an end-of-file is
reached before the loop is completed with endloop?
cheers
