This is a "super super serious must be fixed asfp" bug because perhaps tomorrow a CR/LF won't help! Of course it makes sense that a sample input to the parser would help, and I did provided one. I still insist that a crash address is extremely helpful and in many cases all you need to know to find a bug, but now that you said you primarily develop on mac, I'm not sure whether gcc's map files are as useful as VC's ones (although I suspect they are). > Anyway, I have other work I need to do today, so I'll be looking forward to > the bug being updated with a repro case.
